The God of Wild Places

Rediscovering the Divine in the Untamed Outdoors

By: Tony Jones

I have read a lot of books in my life, but never one like this... this captivating memoir will take you places you might never have gone on your own: into the elemental mysteries of life, death, creatureliness, and divinity with someone who has turned from the orderliness of religion to find salvation in the God of the Wild. I'm glad I went." —Barbara Brown Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Church and Learning to Walk in the Dark A pastor walks out of the church and into the woods, in pursuit of the God he's lost. Millions of Americans, disillusioned with organized religion, yearn for meaning and transcendence in their lives, and many of them are finding that in nature. 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. When 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. In The God of Wild Places, 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. Tony's guidance in The God of Wild Places 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.

Animal Life Cycles: Growing up in the wild

By: Dr. Tony Hare

Why are newborn bears so tiny? How does the joey find its way to its mother’s pouch? Why are fruit bats born large, alert and with their eyes open? These and many other questions are answered in this essential guide to the life cycles of the world’s mammals. This fascination book describes and illustrates the various, and sometimes unique, ways in which mammals raise their young and live their lives. More than seventy different types of mammals are represented, from the chimpanzee, which does not gain its independence until the age of seven or eight, to the tiny hamster, which is already fending for itself after only two months. The main text provides a vivid synopsis of each animal’s life, including how the animal learns to survive, achieves independence, and mates. Superb illustrations and detailed captions offer additional about the various stages that the animal goes through. Multiple points of interest highlight special aspects of each animal’s life, such as breeding season, litter size, and average life expectancy. Animal Life Cycles is an ideal introduction to the life cycles of the world’s animals. It is an indispensable guide that can be used in schools and at home.

Born Wild

The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Passion for Africa

By: Tony Fitzjohn

Tony Fitzjohn, part missionary, part madman, has been called “one of the world’s most endangered creatures.” An internationally renowned field expert on African wildlife, he is best known for the eighteen years he spent helping Born Free’s George Adamson return more than forty leopards and lions—including the celebrated Christian—to the wild in central Kenya. Born Wild is the memoir of Fitzjohn’s extraordinary life. It shows how a man driven by an impossibly restless spirit can do almost anything, from being a bouncer in a brothel, to surviving a vicious lion attack, to fighting with the Tanzanian government, to being appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen. A notorious hell-raiser given to scrapes with bandits, evil policemen, and wicked politicians, who has been shot at by poachers and chewed up by lions, Fitzjohn is also a wonderful raconteur. Shenanigans aside, he belongs to that rare species of humans who have sought refuge and meaning in a life truly dedicated to the restoration of the animal kingdom. Many times Tony Fitzjohn has put his life on the line for the cause in which he believes. Born Wild is the story of that passion.

Animal Habitats: Discovering how animals live in the wild

By: Dr. Tony Hare

From the polar bear that endures icy temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit during the arctic winter to the kangaroo that lives in areas with less than 10 inches of rainfall a year, this engaging book describes and illustrates almost every kind of habitat where animals flourish. In a clear and concise style, each entry describes the habitat characteristic of each animal and how it copes with ecological factors such as shrinking natural surroundings, seasonal migration, and competition for feeding grounds. Vivid colour photographs place the animals in their natural environment while at the same time show an aspect of their behavioral habits. Animal Habitats is a fascinating book which will delight and inspire readers. It is an indispensable guide that can be used in schools and at home.
