"In Nature as Spiritual Practice Steven Chase invites us to seek God in nature's own liturgy, to mourn with nature within the earth's dark night, and to be transformed by a deepened attention to the world all around. Step outside, Chase tells us. Our desire for God is a desire we share with the earth itself." -- Stephanie Paulsell Harvard Divinity School author of Honoring the Body: Meditations on a Christian Practice "A wonderful mix of insights from classical spiritual teachers and nature writers, woven into a series of contemplative and active practices that echo the work of Joanna Macy and Bill Plotkin. Full of riches both thoughtful and practical!" -- Belden C. Lane Saint Louis University author of Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality
