Over the past 50 years, Wendell Berry has been helping those with ears to listen chart a return to the practice of being creatures. Through his essays, poetry, and fiction Berry has repeatedly drawn our attention to the ways in which our lives are gifts in a whole economy of gifts. In Wendell Berry and the Given Life, naturalist Ragan Sutterfield articulates his vision for the creaturely life and the Christian understandings of humility and creation that underpin it.

Inspiration for life from the Given Life

A truly inspirational read that helps bring perspective. In a time when ethics and morality seem to be in absentia Wendell Berry and the Given Life makes us question what really is important, and set a proper course for our life.

Difficult to understand.

Was expecting a simpler form of the creation theology. It was okay and gave me some insight but was a bit heavy reading for me.
