Summary:
"In Earth, Our Original Monastery, Christine Valters Paintner, shares how living contemplatively with an appreciation for the natural world can make readers more aware of the presence of God in every aspect of their lives. She explores monks, mystics, and saints who have experienced the goodness of the Divine in nature and invites readers to find solace and spiritual revelation in the wonder of God's creation"-- Provided by publisher.
