If God/Nature, Then?: Cultivate Awareness of the Spiritual Presence in Daily Life with the Consciousness of the Universe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781982254957)

This author is particularly well-suited to write this book because he has done extensive biblical research using the works of great biblical authors, and has been an ordained Methodist minister. He also is an experienced analyst of this created world in that as a Forester he has studied and utilized nature to grow forests. In that process he has studied wildlife, watershed hydrology, the human impacts of harvesting and maintaining nature as a partner with nature to provide for human needs. Thus he has both academic and practical operational experience with the creation in the context of human needs and behaviors. One might suppose that the religious establishment has a corner on understanding the totality of theology. On the contrary they have not successfully integrated science of the creation into theology. That subject is too broad for the increasingly narrow focus of PhD scholarship, not only practically but economically. A PhD scholar would be very reluctant to attempt this broad unifying activity, and would not have time to engage with enough operational empathy personally to write this book.
