250 - Cries of the Savanna - with Sue Tidwell
What moves you? What is it in your life that moves your soul and compels you to do something and work to make a difference? For Sue Tidwell it was when she accompanied her husband on a safari to Tanzania. As a non-hunter herself, she saw the passion of her husband and as she says in her book, "when you love someone, their dream becomes your dream."
Together they flew to Tanzania so Rick could pursue his dream of hunting Africa. What happened on this trip changed Sue profoundly. She saw firsthand how hunting has transformed the lives of the people of Tanzania and beyond. How hunting saves species, how controlled hunting conserves the landscape, how hunting provides jobs, food and income for hundreds and thousands of people living in Africa. She saw first hand how sustained hunting of these beautiful animals has helped the people of these countries and animals around the world.
In her book Cries of the Savanna, Sue captuers the thrill of the hunt and the essence of the people who make it all happen. From the tents to the bush to the relationships she has built with the people she encounters, Sue takes the reader along with her as she struggles to make sense of it all and writes convincenly and beautifully.
Cries of the Savanna is one of the best books ever penned on hunting Africa and should rank as the highest apologetic work on hunting in the last 50 years. She is a gifted writer and this book is a must read for anyone who wants to hunt Africa. For anyone who questions the ethics of hunting, and for anyone studying conservation around the globe.

A lifelong lover of God’s creation, Jon is an avid whitetail deer hunter and outdoorsman. His passion for the outdoors has also led to years of involvement in the outdoor industry, including serving on the CVA Pro Staff team. For Jon, hunting is about much more than the pursuit—it’s an opportunity to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, build relationships, and recognize the connection between faith and the outdoors.
Whether preaching from the pulpit, recording weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, sharing his testimony at a sportsman’s banquet, or simply gathering around a campfire with fellow outdoorsmen, Jon enjoys connecting with people and pointing them toward Jesus. For Jon, faith, family, community, and the outdoors are opportunities to serve, build relationships, and give God glory.
