"I don't think it is enough appreciated how much an outdoor book the Bible is," wrote Wendell Berry, and author Daniel Cooperrider illustrates his point with Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You, a beautiful narrative that reads like a stroll through the woods.

Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You attend to the theological wonder of God's book of nature, traversing rivers and mountains, studying clouds and trees. The book includes Cooperrider's award-winning essay, "Cloud of Witnesses," from the 2022 Writer's Digest Writing Competition.
