Survivalist Bear Grylls shares how to 'be still with God' in devotional book
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bear Grylls is used to giving survival tips in the great outdoors, but now he's showing another side you may not know: his faith.
The "Man vs. Wild" star, who has written more than 20 books on death-defying experiences, never thought he would write a devotional on "the most important part of his life...faith in Jesus Christ." But then again, his entire life has been about doing new things.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I didn’t really mean it to be public," Grylls, 45, said. "I wrote this book because I try to do something every day at the start of the day…and I’ve just written down notes over the years of things that have helped me...where I secretly find my strength...It's rooted in Christ's teaching but it's all about love."
"It's rooted in Christ's teaching but it's all about love."
The British former SAS serviceman compiled a 365-daily devotional called "Soul Fuel," along with an audiobook narrated by him.

In it he shares: "I often don't feel very strong. Life can be a battle. We all feel that from time to time. But any strength I do have seems to come in the quiet moments at the start of my day. It comes when I am on my own, on my knees. It comes from taking time to be still with God...So for me, starting my day like this really helps. It is like food. Like good fuel for the soul."
