Publisher's Synopsis
For many, God is no longer that anthropomorphic Being sitting on a throne somewhere way up in space. Rather, God is now envisioned as that creating spirit, that vital energy, that Great Mystery, that sacred life force within Nature itself. So when we are moved to marvel at the beauty, majesty, and awesomeness of the natural world, we are marveling at and honoring the God-Spirit or divine energy or sacred presence in Nature. This book is for those who, when contemplating the natural world, stand in awe and find a sense of the sacred therein and, consequently, in the midst of daily life.Written in the spirit of naturalist John Muir who said, "In our best times everything turns into religion, all the world seems a church and the mountains altars," this book will inspire anyone who celebrate the majesty of Nature.
