Just as a weaver works the yarn and creates the fabric, so too are we uniquely woven pieces of art produced from the breath of God. Each thread of our humanity is set in his image. Unlike the human weaver, God's calculations are perfect. There are no mistakes, oversights, or uneven salvages. We are precious and loved because he has formed us. In her inspirational weekly devotional, author Ann Marie Bezayiff continues to share her spiritual journey, but his time with her loom and yarn. Her insights of faith in everyday life are like the creative process and skill of hand weaving. Drawing upon her experiences as a writer of words, a life-long teacher, and weaver of cloth, her stories are reminiscent of our own personal walk with Christ in our busy, complicated lives. As we work the yarns of life and weave together our experiences and understandings, her insights remind us that no matter the shape, texture, or design we create, each of us is uniquely woven by the hand of God. Ann Marie uses fifty-two funny and inspirational life stories to illustrate that Weaving a Spiritual Life is a step-by-step process whose finished result is worth the wait.

Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.
