Wild Hope : Stories For Lent From The Vanishing
$19.99
Come alive this Lent in winsome stories of the world’s wild ones. Magnificent, delicate, intricate–and vanishing–each of these creatures stirs in us deep memories of a more beautiful world and an ache for its return. Such a resurrection, we see, is a wild–not impossible–hope.
Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing taps both our fascination with wild animals and our emerging willingness to hear their whole story. Twenty-five story-portraits paint the awe-inspiring beauty of creatures from polar bears to pangolins–and describe simply, without sensation, the ways they are dying. Here too are humans whose open hearts know these creatures as kin and who act to save them. Throughout Lent the book draws readers into the rapt attention a good nature documentary compels.
In the season of remembering and renewal, these vivid story-portraits can restore our deep, primal bonds with Earth’s wild creatures. Filled with wonder, and feeling the suffering of these “least ones” as our own, we rediscover our longing for the Garden we once shared. That peaceable kingdom can seem as implausible as The Resurrection. Yet in these stories we catch glimpses of that Wild Hope appearing in the world.
