His perspective on contemporary life reflects his decision to become a stay-at-home dad, while his attorney wife took over principal bread winning responsibilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHorsley's is a close-up view of the small realities that form the texture of our lives: the vagaries of his garden, his switch from shooting to feeding birds, his youngest child's last bottle, conquering a fear of roller coasters, the virtues of a classic BLT sandwich, the delights--and drawbacks--of his afternoon nap habit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLighter pieces are punctuated with more serious observations on some of today's most complex issues: lamenting the circumstances that impede friendships between white and black men, or unraveling the theological arguments wrongly used to condone gay-bashing. Subtly--and often by example--he beckons his readers toward exhibiting greater compassion, tolerance, and fairness every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHorsley views life on the high plains with amusement and affection--always informed by his theological training, but never overwhelmed by it. And his unconventional outlook, rendered in graceful, colloquial prose, is one that his readers will find both entertaining and thought-provoking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Horsley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 096574681X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780965746816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Winedale Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.83h x 5.85w x 0.85d","brand":"David Horsley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096798961919,"sku":"9780965746816","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/into-the-wind-david-horsley-9780965746816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
