This book is written for those who haven’t yet discovered the brilliance, humor, humility, and awe-filled writings of C.S. Lewis. Maybe one who has read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but no other Narnia books. Or half of Mere Christianity and got side-tracked. Or has heard their pastor quote Lewis time and again and wonders “why?” Or thought: “what is the big deal about C.S. Lewis?” The author highlights the eight or ten most meaningful Lewis ideas that have transformed his life. Ideas such as “what real joy is” and “the presence of God in everyday occurrences” and “the secret to recovery of child-like wonder” and “the startling relevance of Lewis to today” and “how believing in Christ makes the most sense.” “I enjoyed reading this wondrous book about C.S. Lewis. It is ‘twice wondrous’ because it is a pleasure not only to read Rich Latta’s insights into C.S. Lewis’s books, but to enjoy the feeling that comes when a writer opens his heart so warmly as Rich has done. I decided I want what Rich Latta has uncovered in the second half of his life: the enjoyment of a new start in seeing and feeling the wonder of God. This enjoyment is God Himself: “more of God!” Rich writes. It is also a heartfelt awakening to all that is wondrous in the world that God made. Thank you, Rich. You have given the reader a gift of awakened wonder, theirs and yours.” —Bob Blincoe, PhD. President Emeritus, Frontiers

"Masterfully connects Scripture to nature and nature to God." --Lori Wildenberg, national speaker, parent coach, and author of six parenting books including The Messy Life of Parenting For a generation whose eyes are constantly trained on screens, encountering nature at all is increasingly difficult--much less seeing how God is revealed there. How can parents help children reengage with the natural world that is so full of amazement, creativity, and love? Eryn Lynum is a certified master naturalist, Bible teacher, and mom of four who wants to help families encounter and understand the connection between God and creation. She shares her own story of surrounding her kids with nature, and invites other parents to consider a similar journey. With practical sections that look at flora and fauna, water and sky through the lens of the Bible and activities to integrate faith and the natural world, Rooted in Wonder helps adults instill within your kids an unshakable faith. Through the art of play, the drive of discovery, and the awe of adventure, children will gain a sense of wonder in their Creator that will last a lifetime. "A beautifully written, powerful treatment of the natural world as God's revelation to his people . . . [that] weaves theological insights with practical advice on how to instill a love for the natural word in kids of all ages." --Sy Garte, PhD, author of The Works of His Hands and editor-in-chief of God and Nature "With joy and practical know-how, Eryn Lynum helps parents connect the beauty of creation with love for the Creator. Rooted in Wonder is a must-read for helping the next generation to get outdoors and get to know God." --Matthew Sleeth, MD, executive director of Blessed Earth

'Wisdom and Wonder' is a book of wisdom chapters in two 'Centuries, ' an ancient monastic wisdom genre much loved by the desert fathers. For these elders, wonder is the root and crown of wisdom, not only its origin. In these meditations, the mysteries of glorification and deification are explored from within the Orthodox tradition of wisdom and wonder. Priest-monk Silouan lives in the Monastery of St Antony and St Cuthbert, a hermitage within the Romanian jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church, high up in the south-west Shropshire hills. Fr. Silouan lives alone under the Shepherd's rock on the eastern slopes of the Stiperstones, in an old miner's cottage on a small-holding of twenty acres of pasture and woodland. He lives a life of prayer, silence, liturgy and work in the ancient tradition of orthodox monasticism.

For many children much of the time their experience in classrooms can be rather dull, and yet the world the school is supposed to initiate children into is full of wonder. This book offers a rich understanding of the nature and roles of wonder in general and provides multiple suggestions for to how to revive wonder in adults (teachers and curriculum makers) and how to keep it alive in children. Its aim is to show that adequate education needs to take seriously the task of evoking wonder about the content of the curriculum and to show how this can routinely be done in everyday classrooms. The authors do not wax flowery; they present strong arguments based on either research or precisely described experience, and demonstrate how this argument can be seen to work itself out in daily practice. The emphasis is not on ways of evoking wonder that might require virtuoso teaching, but rather on how wonder can be evoked about the everyday features of the math or science or social studies curriculum in regular classrooms.

This book is a meditation on the experiences of wonder, horror, and awe, and an exploration of their ontological import. It argues that these experiences are not, as our culture often presumes, merely subjective, emotive responses to events that happen in the world. Rather, they are transformative experiences that fracture our ordinary lives and, in so doing, provide us access to realities of which we would otherwise be oblivious. Wonder, horror, and awe, like the experiences of love and death to which they are so intimately related, are not events that happen in our world but events that happen to it and thus alter our life as a whole. Miller explores the impact of that transformation — its deconstructive effect on our ordinary sense of our selves, and the breakthrough to a new understanding of being which it makes possible.
