A Convergence of Stories, June 11, 2011
By Carlton B. Turner (San Luis Obispo, CA, USA) - Amazon review
Phyllis Strupp, The Richest of Fare: Seeking Spiritual Security in the Sonoran Desert, Sonoran Cross Press, 2004. A guided tour to the desert's life changing spiritual power.
A spiritual explorer's essay about the big picture, who we are as a human species, where we've come from, where we're headed and spiritual resources available to point us along the way. The author takes as her frame of reference the newly understood Universe Story and speaks from the particular context of both her local geographical region and the stories of the biblical spiritual traditions. The engaging narrative is an encouragement to look deeper, wherever we are, into who we are and what we're about, to look deeper into the Book of Nature, look deeper into the Book of Scripture. Failing to do so we are left with truncated meanings that demean our relationships with ourselves, our world and with God. The beautifully crafted book (250 pages) paints a picture from the author's own journey of these stories converging, the Universe Story and the Biblical Story. It is a celebration of the transformations happening in both our spiritual and secular lives today. Beautiful photography set on high quality paper anchors the narrative to place, truly the "richest of fare."
