<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>How do we live healthy and meaningful lives in a divided and angry world? Author and professional photographer Erik Stensland invites us to explore this question through a series of daily meditations on the natural world, illustrated with his stunning photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em><strong>I encourage you to give attention to this unusual book. By drawing our attention to the natural world, the author leads us on a journey of realignment with ourselves, each other and this world we inhabit. </strong></em> <p>-RICHARD ROHR</p> <p> </p> <strong>Learning to Live Beautifully in a Troubled World</strong> <p>Experience a breath of fresh air with <em><strong>The Journey Beyond</strong></em>, a gorgeous hardcover book filled with stunning color photos of the natural world and writing that will both challenge and inspire you.</p> <p><em><strong>The Journey Beyond</strong></em> invites us to take a fresh look at ourselves and our society, to move beyond the aggressive and polarized culture that keeps us trapped in a stalemate of hate and division. The deep-rooted challenges that we collectively face cannot be solved through partisan politics. To move forward, we must engage with each other outside the blinding and confining boundaries of party, recognizing the humanity of one another and identifying together the direction of our common health. This is not a simple self-contained action that we do; rather, it is part of our lifelong journey of becoming whole. This book is an invitation to journey beyond the propaganda, beyond the easy solutions, and beyond our own self-interest, where there is another way of being that we and our society desperately need.</p> <p>This is the second book in the WHISPERS series. In these books, professional photographer and award-winning author Erik Stensland explores what it means to pursue goodness, wholeness, and meaning, following the voice that whispers deep within all of us. He has written these books in the form of easy-to read daily reflections that look at life from a different perspective. Each of these readings is paired with one of his stunning photographs of the natural world, chosen to emphasize the message of the day.</p> <p>If you are ready to open yourself, to take an honest look within, and to pursue the way of goodness, you will find this book to be a delightful and encouraging companion on that journey to personal and societal wholeness.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Each morning we awaken to a new day only to be assailed by news of a world gone wrong. The divisions, the greed, the anger, and the suffering leave us worn out before the day even begins. We long to live a life of meaning, one that makes our world a better place. Too often our attempts seem to have the opposite effect.</p> <p><em><strong>The Journey Beyond </em></strong>invites us to address our world's problems on a deeper level, beginning with ourselves. It's an invitation to journey beyond the propaganda, beyond the easy solutions, and beyond our comfort zone, where there is another way of being that we and our society desperately need.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em><strong>The Journey Beyond is a passionate ode to the beauty and truth of nature--human and otherwise.</strong></em>--Independent Book Review<br><br><em><strong>I encourage you to give attention to this unusual book. By drawing our attention to the natural world, the author leads us on a journey of realignment with ourselves, each other and this world we inhabit. </strong></em>--Richard Rohr<br><br><em><strong>The modern world has assigned Nature to the realm of reductionist science. Our knowledge has greatly increased, but along the way we've lost a sense of wonder and beauty, as well as the wisdom that guided so many or our ancestors who lived closer to the earth. In the tradition of John Muir, Erik Stensland rediscovers that trove of wisdom, lighting the way with a collection of stunningly beautiful photographs. Rarely has a book excited so many of my neurons at once. </strong></em>--Philip Yancey<br>
