While we may understand God as being transcendent as well as his attributes manifesting through the person of Jesus Christ, another aspect of the Divine may be escaping us. The Scriptures reveal that God is also immanent through His attributes and that this aspect of Divinity is all around us - -He is not far from each one of us. 'For in him His attributes] we live and move and have our being.'- (Acts 17:27-28).

It's possible for us to be like the blind men that Jesus encountered on his travels - but worse still, not even realize that we are blind or missing anything. Unknowingly,...

We listen to a cacophony of voices instructing us how to think and feel about nature, including our own bodies. The news media, wildlife documentaries, science magazines, and environmental NGOs are among those clamouring for our attention. But are we empowered by all this knowledge or is our dependence on various communities allowing our thoughts, sentiments and activities to be unduly governed by others?

"Making Sense of Nature" shows that what we call nature is made sense of for us in ways that make it central to social order, social change and social dissent. By utilising insights...

"Whether she's writing about the staccato of a hairy woodpecker echoing through the woods, tapping sweet sap from a cluster of maples during a spring sugaring ritual or mourning the loss of her ox, Tolstoy, Joan Donaldson's sensuous prose shimmers and surprises. Her collection of essays, Wedded to the Land, peels back the skin of her blueberry farm with the precision and eloquence of a Wendell Berry, Edward Abbey, and other agrarian essayists who make us pine for the lost heart of the country." --George Getschow, writer-in-residence, The Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism, former...
