Overview
Walking The Spirit explores a unique and compelling topic - the cultural and spiritual dimensions of a simple stroll. Drawing on a wide array of historical, cultural, and religious perspectives, the author probes the deeply profound meaning to be found not only in human movement but in a universe defined by motion. Illustrations are taken from many of the author's experiences as an anthropologist, avid outdoorsman, and international Christian aid worker in Africa and Asia. Among the topics explored is that the neighborhood walk is an apt metaphor for the journey through life. The author develops this idea into novel and far-reaching perspectives on human society, the world of nature, and the biblical account from Genesis to Revelation. Whether on a casual amble through suburbia, a sacred pilgrimage to Lourdes, or crossing the very threshold of death, Walking The Spirit offers keen insights into the one common denominator that makes each daily activity meaningful in the larger scope of things. The book will engage and challenge anyone with an interest in Christian spirituality, the worlds of culture and nature, and the grand themes of human existence.
