Reviews

"""Jason Brown brings a freshness to this topic . . . His rich understanding of the call of place and the power of geography in contemplative life makes for fascinating reading. This is a book to be savored by all those seeking a spiritual path of dwelling in the land."" -- Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, founders of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology ""A beautiful, evocative meditation on the power of place seen through the experience of contemporary Christian monks. With an ethnographer's patient attention . . . Brown offers us an important new way of thinking about ecospiritual practice in the Anthropocene."" -- Douglas E. Christie, author of The Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Notes for a Contemplative Ecology"
