W. Phillip Keller’s non-fiction catalog spans over six decades, with 48 titles published between 1959 and 2021. His earliest works, Africa’s Wild Glory (1959) and Canada’s Wild Glory (1961), focus on the natural world, while later books like A Layman Looks at the Lord’s Prayer (1975) and A Gardener Looks at the Fruits of the Spirit (1979) turn toward devotional and spiritual subjects. Many of his titles blend both interests, drawing lessons from nature and outdoor life to explore questions of faith.

The 1980s were an especially productive period, with books on topics ranging from biblical figures like David and Elijah to reflections on wilderness and the sea. Titles such as Lessons from a Sheep Dog (1982) and Sea Edge (1984) show Keller returning to the pastoral and coastal settings that run through much of his writing. His later works, including Serenity (1992), Outdoor Moments with God (1994), and What Makes Life Worth Living (1998), continued in the same vein through the 1990s.

New readers can start anywhere in this collection, since each book is self-contained. Those interested in his nature writing might begin with Africa’s Wild Glory or Splendour from the Sea, while readers looking for devotional material could start with A Layman Looks at the Lord’s Prayer or Walking with God (1980).
