Preaching & Worship

“In the tradition of Wendell Berry, Sam Codington invites followers of Jesus to take seriously their relationship to the richness of the places they live, and to pay attention to even the tiny miracles of creation, like grass and snails and bees. But Codington locates the places he describes—and all creatures great and small—in the frame of epochal change, the end of the Anthropocene. This makes for a challenging and especially helpful book. His commitment to childlike wonder—in himself and in others—is an inspiration, as are his tips for the practice of preaching in perilous times.”
