A master of the personal essay, his work has also deeply explored the role of religion in the American family.\u003cp\u003eIn Reece’s new collection of essays, \u003ci\u003ePractice Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e, ideas are the main characters. Written over ten years, and revealing Reece’s continued obsession with religion, family and the natural world, in many ways these essays represent a sequel to his stirring memoir, \u003ci\u003eAn American Gospel: On Family, History and the Kingdom of God\u003c\/i\u003e. In that book, Reece intimately describes his conflicted relationship with Christianity in the context of the death of his father, a Baptist minister from rural Virginia who committed suicide at age thirty-three, and Reece’s own journey since then to find meaning and balance in the material and spiritual worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproaching variably through the lenses of travel, economics, and environmental stewardship, and with the ideas of great American thinkers (Thoreau, Berry, Davenport, Emerson) echoing in the background, \u003ci\u003ePractice Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e provide readers refreshing new ways to value human spirituality and the natural environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055313207536,"sku":"9781619026087","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781619026087_p0.jpg?v=1763859648","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781619026087","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
