Over the past 50 years, Wendell Berry has been helping those with ears to listen chart a return to the practice of being creatures. Through his essays, poetry, and fiction Berry has repeatedly drawn our attention to the ways in which our lives are gifts in a whole economy of gifts. In Wendell Berry and the Given Life, naturalist Ragan Sutterfield articulates his vision for the creaturely life and the Christian understandings of humility and creation.
