In the Beginning........

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book on Creation, ostensibly for children, but really for everyone. Matthew Fox is one of the most creative and challenging spiritual writer-teachers in the U.S. He is a leader in what may be called an emerging, progressive approach to religion in general, and Christianity in particular. He takes a very life-affirming, mystical, and prophetic stance on religious tradition across many cultures. This is a book to read with your children and to share with others on the journey.
