Many of us spend a great deal of our time dreaming about our next trip to the mountains, whether for a weekend getaway or our yearly vacation. We hear within that deep inexplicable pull toward the wilderness and would agree with John Muir, who said: "The mountains are calling and I must go." We sense that in the wild we are touching the edge of something that is both wonderful and mysterious. In this new hardcover book, author and photographer Erik Stensland reflects on his own experience of wilderness and how it seems to call all of us towards healing and wholeness. Through short articles paired with stunning imagery he uses nature to help us connect with our inner self. Whispers in the Wilderness invites us to explore this longing we have for the wilderness. The author suggests that this longing is itself the trail head for a journey to wholeness. On each page he encourages us to go deeper within ourselves and discover the healing that nature is offering.

From the Author:

I am pleased to finally present you with my new book Whispers in the Wilderness. I wrote most of this book out on the trails of Rocky Mountain National Park. It began as my own personal notes as I reflected on the natural world and my own internal world. I eventually realized that what I was writing was not something that applied only to me, but to all who long for wholeness and depth in their life.My hope for this book is that it will encourage you to pay greater attention to the life you are living, to recognize the unseen goodness that surrounds you, to step forward in life unafraid, and most importantly of all to begin to notice and listen to the quiet stirrings deep within your own heart. This book isn't about gaining knowledge, but about becoming whole and I hope that in some small way it will help you in that journey.
