(An inspiring celebration of God in relation to His world....)
An inspiring celebration of God in relation to His world. Even though we moderns - largely an urbanized population - have practically become strangers to the natural world, we still yearn to be more connected to the natural realm, God's creation. Partly because the Christian church has not preached and taught a whole theology that clearly explains God's connection to the cosmos, a number of "alien faiths" are rushing in to fill the void.
