Helps bridge the gap between love of God and love of nature. Many people experience God most strongly in nature but do not know how to incorporate this experience into their spiritual life. Others question whether Christianity has room for nature at all and seek alternatives elsewhere, often leaving Christianity entirely. This book addresses this crucial issue by providing a resource for fostering a closer relationship with God and creation. With a step-by-step approach, this book provides a framework integrating asceticism with the contemplation of nature. Each chapter contains a “take it home” section for applying the lessons learned outdoors to everyday life, connecting God and nature as seamless components of spirituality. Topics include gratitude, delight, appreciation, wonder, discernment, reverence, mortality, love, beauty, humility, silence, and hope.

Exploring profound theological questions, this imaginative narrative presents an eternal jazz trio that embodies the joy of Music-making, inviting readers to consider the relationship between God, nature, and humanity. Through a playful reimagining of the Gospel story, the book offers inspiration and insight for both newcomers to spirituality and those looking to deepen their faith. It encourages reflection on divine love and purpose, making it a unique and engaging resource for spiritual exploration.
