When pastor and theologian Tony Jones, Ph.D., had his crisis of faith, brought on by personal trauma and broken relationships, he sought solace in the outdoors - paddling a canoe, hunting with his dog, butchering deer.\u003cbr\u003eWhen he walked out of the church and into the woods, he left the orderly pews and numbered hymns for chaotic spaces and untamed wilderness. And he re-discovered God     a God who brings peace in the midst of storms, a God who lives in the community of our fellow creatures, a God who's acquainted with death. This is the God of wild places.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe God of Wild Places\u003c\/i\u003e, Tony mines his own experiences, recent research in evolutionary psychology, and ancient wisdom from various spiritual and philosophical traditions to fashion lessons about solitude, the predator-prey relationship, the importance of place, risk, failure, and death, and the chaotic presence of God.\u003cbr\u003eTony's guidance in \u003ci\u003eThe God of Wild Places\u003c\/i\u003e promises to introduce a generation of Americans to the transcendence available only in untamed spaces; his writing draws on wisdom from Christianity to Buddhism, Kant to Cioran, Jim Harrison to Annie Dillard. This is a journey of loss and discovery through forests and fields, lakes and streams, from knowing to unknowing, from finding to losing     from life to death, and then back to life.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658417590430,"sku":"UBD-9781538184448","price":48.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781538184448.jpg?v=1774925356","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781538184448","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
