Product Description
There is a great and honourable tradition of finding God in landscapes. Many who have given up on church appreciate the spiritual benefits they gain from climbing a mountain or walking in nature. But how and why do we encounter God in land, forest, river, mountain, desert, garden, sea and sky? That is what Graham Usher explores in this captivating volume which takes us from the giant Redwoods of the Californian Sierra Nevada to the jagged New York skyline; from the wilds of the ancient Scottish Highlands to the rolling pastures of English Shropshire. Drawing on material from biblical and church history traditions - as well as scientific research and contemporary art - he seeks to ascertain how such encounters support our Christian pilgrimage and challenge our assumptions.

Places of Enchantment
This is a book packed full of images, Graham Usher’s Places of Enchantment, to which he brings his earlier experience as an ecologist to tease out the ecology of God from within the natural landscape. He reminds us that it was a landscape that was interrogated by the Palaeolithic mind, the Israelite wanderer, St Francis staring from his solitary cell, as much as by our own. And it has shaped our notions of God.
It is a dense fabric that Usher weaves, occasionally so dense it obscures the point, but that scarcely matters for it gives us a breath of fresh air in the company of sea and mountain, forest and desert, garden and sky, a breath of God’s air. So take a stroll through its pages; you will feel better for it, and not end up with muddy shoes.
