Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter at the BBC, an 'awkward' priest in the Church of England, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003ebelonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe all share a desire to belong. There's reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in. But at significant moments in our lives - a new job, new school or an unexpected change of circumstances - or just in the ruts and routines of everyday life, we can experience a sense of not belonging, of dislocation, of being lost in a forest. But, there is another way to approach these uneasy moments. Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin parish priest Colin Heber-Percy in an invitation to get lost - to lose the labels society and institutions use to box us in - and to relish the liberation of losing our way in the world. Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness, a spirituality and a freedom to be found outside the boundary lines our culture sets for us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLost in the Forest\u003c\/i\u003e is a gentle, funny, and life-affirming trail of crumbs through the woods.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41801823879265,"sku":"9781804192313","price":16.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31303799.jpg?v=1740504636","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781804192313-lost-in-the-forest","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
