Douglas, David Wilderness Sojourn: Notes in the Desert Silence
Harpercollins Sep-89 60619937 N Paperback
From Publishers Weekly&newline;The solitary wilderness experience can be an adventure, a source of personal renewal or a test of survival, but for Douglas, it is a spiritual retreat, a place for meditation and prayer. He observes that, throughout history, the wilderness has drawn humans closer to God. These contemplative essays recount each weekday trek into canyon country. While Douglasa writer on environmental subjectsappreciates the secular value of wild country, he believes that many of us overlook its scriptural importance (&doublequote;a place of testing for the Hebrews, of solitude for the prophets, of prayer for Jesus&doublequote;). A dedicated conservationist, he speculates on the biblical command: &doublequote; . . . subdue the earth.&doublequote; The book is equally rewarding as a wilderness journey and as one man's affirmation of his faith. Illustrations not seen by PW. &newline;Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. &newline;&newline;From Library Journal&newline;This small book is the author's journal of a week-long trek into the southwestern United States desert. Always literate, always understated, it is an impressionistic account filled with meditations and musings on the role of nature in spiritual growth. God, and man's relationship to God, hold Douglas's attention as he wanders through narrow canyons and follows meandering stream beds. Douglas wonders why solitude and wilderness are not more valued by contemporary Christians, as they were by early church fathers and by Jesus. His spiritual renewal and quiet insight gained from the wilderness make a nice counterpoint to the current clamor for development of the few wild places still left to us. Randy Dykhuis, Grace A. Dow Memorial Lib., Midland, Mich.&newline;Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
