[Chamara Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is an exploration of our connection to the natural world, encouraging readers to consider an eco-centered way of life instead of ego-centered thinking.

We’re urged to find the sacred in nature and our everyday lives. We’re natural beings after all, and forming a respectful relationship with nature improves our minds and bodies in turn.

At its heart, this book is a love letter to nature. The writing style is dense and verbose (Adams is a scholar in psychology), but the ideas presented are thought-provoking and lovely.

I would definitely say ‘A Wild and Sacred Call’ is an important book to sit with and absorb very slowly. For those interested in connecting deeply with our shared world, this book is well worth it.

[Michael Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This deeply philosophical and psychological book, consisting of a gathering together of essays across decades, invites the reader to reflect on nature as sacred, but its academic tone means that it is not an easy read. Will W. Adams’s writing is thought-provoking and inspiring, and as a fan of his writing for many years, it is good to see his work brought together in a single volume.
