Advance Reviews

"Live Each Season as It Passes will be a delight to those who have met God in the wild, who are longing for an introduction, and even those who are—so far—perfectly happy with indoor sacrality." -Quinn G. Caldwell, Protestant Chaplain, Cornell University

"Daniel Cooperrider listens his way into rivers, migrations, wind, and weather, offering a way of paying attention that feels urgently necessary now." -Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild

"These essays re-earth us, awakening us to God's ravishing presence in every musty mushroom and moody cloud, in every season." -Debra Rienstra, Refugia Faith

"Daniel Cooperrider is a Thoreau for our time—only with a deeper theology." -Martin Copenhaver, Retired President, Andover Newton Theological School

Our Earthly Vocation

Since the time of Eden, God has called humanity to be in relationship with nature. We are not called to live on earth but to live with earth, in tune with earth's seasons and not distinct from them.

Live Each Season as It Passes is Daniel Cooperrider's call to the importance of earth-bound spiritual practices and daily awareness. His reflections include:

• Once Upon a Streamside,
• Like Painting a Bird in Flight,
• Mushroom Dance,
• Deep Calls to Deep, and
• The Opposite of Cold.

Cooperrider's sequel to the bestselling Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You, Live Each Season as It Passes is a stop-what-you're-doing-and-look-at-the-clouds book.
