Book Description
Within the bewildering paradox of suffering and beauty, we often miss the Invisible One. Never quite what you'd imagine, the nudge of his Presence can be mind-bending. More often, the Almighty gives no more than a slender warble. This collection is about finding the presence of God in spite of and because of the trappings that make us most human.

Warblers of Europe, Asia and North Africa
Author: Kevin Baker
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408131706
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Many warblers are notoriously difficult to identify in the field (and even in the hand!) and, until now, there has been no definitive guide to the species of these regions. This guide covers 145 species, covering all aspects of identification. The text includes sections on moult, voice, habitat and behaviour, distribution and measurements. All species (and many races) are illustrated within the 48 colour plates, and there is also a colour distribution map for each species, with a wealth of line drawings complementing the text. Many groups and species of warbler, such as prinias and tailorbirds, have never been described or illustrated in this detail before. Moreover, the book covers recently described series new to science and brings up to date the latest thinking on taxonomic treatment.

Let's Call It Home
Author: Luke Harvey
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Let’s Call It Home is a slow search for wholeness in the fragmented landscape of language, place, family, and faith. These poems offer themselves as touchstones on the dizzying pilgrimage of ascent and descent towards rooted ground, that place we both hail from and are forever approaching, the home we both know intimately and perennially hunger for. And here, on this road, if the conclusions are provisional and the destination—as seen from this end of things—shifting, the hope compelling us out the door is as certain as the ache that sings us homeward and the unshakable sense of a steadying hand at our backs.

Abundance
Author: Andrew Lansdown
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172528457X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Andrew Lansdown’s latest poetry collection, Abundance, contains poems from eleven of his earlier collections and poems that are previously uncollected. These poems gain power from the poet’s mastery of poetic form and technique. They range widely in theme, tone, style, and subject—from an aboriginal man playing the digeridoo in prison to a widow addressing a prophet in Phoenicia; from kangaroos crossing a firebreak to a man asleep in a library; from the emptiness of black bamboo to the fullness of a father’s heart; from a pregnant mother dying for the faith in shogunal Japan to the poet’s mother joining an American-style sacred-harp choir in heaven. This collection offers readers an abundance.
