Wild Wonder

Praise

“With cynicism being the air we breathe nowadays, this book is a much-needed reminder of the beauty, truth, and goodness often hiding in plain sight. Fortunately for us, Stephen Proctor has the eyes to see. His images teach us a way of being in the world that reminds us to keep our heads in the clouds with our feet planted on the Earth, ever rooted in the Ground of Being, Who is always Love. This is good medicine.”—Marc Byrd, musical artist, songwriter, and author
 
“Stephen Proctor is an enthusiast and one of our generation’s most profound visual storytellers. When he loves something, he can’t wait to share it. I have been the beneficiary of his generous spirit for almost twenty years and found myself enveloped in his book, at several points with tears in the edges of my eyes. The same way a sommelier finds the perfect wine to pair with a meal, Stephen has given us the most stunning images that perfectly enhance each story he tells. Wild Wonder will leave you feeling inspired to take your own adventure and to reconnect with nature, God, and yourself.”—Leslie Jordan, executive director and co-founder of the Fold

“Wild Wonder cuts through this age of distraction to gently remind you to slow down and let beauty abound. Through deep reflections, engaging practices, captivating stories, and awe-inspiring imagery, it challenges you to discover the hidden beauty in your surroundings and embrace the sacredness that permeates all of Creation. If you let it, you will feel a much-needed and renewed desire to explore the places of wild wonder that surround you, seeing them as gifts to be enjoyed, nurtured, and treasured. Ultimately, Wild Wonder is profoundly wise, beautiful, inspiring, and motivating. I can’t recommend it enough.”—Dirk Dallas, founder of From Where I Drone and dean of the College of Architecture, Visual Arts, and Design at California Baptist University
