First Church of the Higher Elevations: Mountains, Prayer, and Presence

Cultural Writing. Essays. Nature and spirituality. In these contemplative essays written for seekers and wanderers of all kinds, Peter Anderson explores the rich complexity of the scripture of place; the geography of the heart; the landscape of imagination; and the topography of memory. Thoughtful and rich in spirit, Anderson discusses his personal relationship to place and prayer. Dark and serious, joyful and funny -- FIRST CHURCH OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS is a perfect companion on a climb or at home. "[Anderson's] journeys reveal the grace of the sacred in those luminous high places, and also in the ordinary moments of life" -- Susan Tweit.
