Faithin Omaha eBook Collection

Download or read book The Wisdom of Wild Grace written by Christine Valters Paintner and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the core of this collection are 30 poems inspired by the stories of kinship between saints and animals. They come mostly from the early Christian desert and Celtic traditions, but also feature later medieval saints like St. Francis of Assisi and St. Julian of Norwich. These stories point to a reverence for a different way of knowing and being in the world, one our world is hungry for. Each poem in this collection is meant to be a doorway to intimacy with our inner wilderness, a call to sit and be present to what we discover beyond the borders of our neatly controlled worlds.
