Thoreau's passionate critique of formal religion is matched only by his rapturous descriptions of encounters with the divine in nature. He fled the church only to pursue a deeper communion with a presence he felt at the heart of the universe. He called this illimitable presence many names, but he often called it God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThoreau's God\u003c\/em\u003e, Richard Higgins invites seekers—religious or otherwise—to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God. By recovering this vital thread in Thoreau's life and work, \u003cem\u003eThoreau's God\u003c\/em\u003e opens the door to a new understanding of an original voice in American religion that speaks to spiritual seekers today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428355129580,"sku":"9780226827308","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226827308.jpg?v=1774496923","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/thoreaus-god-by-richard-higgins-9780226827308","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
