Sawdust And Soul

An American ethicist and a South African theologian reflect on their work with wood and how it has helped them find creativity and meaning in experiences of both loss and transformation. Through their friendship, correspondence, and work together they have developed a rich narrative about the way this craftwork has shaped their relationships with family, friends, and their natural environment. Their conversation invites both craftspeople and religious seekers to join them on a spiritual journey toward fresh insight and inspiration.

Between these covers, in the form of poems and prayers, is condensed the insight and spirituality of a life lived fully in South Africa, a country first in struggle and then in transition. They are wide-ranging in their style and subject matter-from free-verse to traditional forms, from heartfelt prayers to light-hearted poems, from poems on nature to poems that ask deep spiritual questions, from poems and prayers written when all is light and full of joy, to those that take one into the depths of loss and grief. In short, they will take you between heaven and earth. They are interspersed with whimsical drawings that enhance the experience.

In this book you will find answers to the eternal philosophical questions of mankind:• Who are we, the “new and improved” results of natural evolution from monkeys, or God’s creations?• What is the meaning of life?• What has been happening on our planet in recent decades?What is the reason for the cataclysms and crises that have descended upon the Earth?And also many other important questions found the answer in this book.

"The Smell of Sawdust" stimulates reflection about the strengths and weaknesses of the evangelical movement's fundamentalist heritage, and how these factors still influence believers today. At once a stirring popular history and a sharp assessment of fundamentalism, this book can appeal to Mouw's broad cross-section of readers and reflective thinkers both in and out of the evangelical tradition.
