SACRED NATURE - KAREN ARMSTRONG KARTONIERT (TB)

'KAREN ARMSTRONG IS A GENIUS' A.N. Wilson In this hugely powerful book  Karen Armstrong argues
that if we want to avert environmental catastrophe  it is not enough to change our behaviour:
we need to learn to think and feel differently about the natural world - to rekindle our
spiritual bond with nature. For most of human history  and in almost all the world's cultures 
nature was believed to be sacred  and our God or gods to be present everywhere in the natural
world. When people in the West began to separate God and nature in modern times  it was not
just a profound breach with thousands of years of accumulated wisdom: it also set in train the
destruction of the natural world. Taking themes that have been central to the world's religious
traditions - from gratitude and compassion to sacrifice and non-violence - Armstrong offers
practical steps to help us develop a new mindset to reconnect with nature and rekindle our
sense of the sacred. Sacred Nature reveals the most profound connections between humans and the
natural world. It speaks to anyone interested in our relationship with nature  worried about
the destruction of our environment  and searching for new ways of thinking to shape the action
needed to save our planet. 'One of our best living writers on religion' Financial Times 'Karen
Armstrong is one of the handful of wise and supremely intelligent commentators on religion'
Alain de Botton
