May's book helps one see the power of wilderness places, their place in our minds and souls and appreciation of them in improving our spirituality and mental health. Great prose. Good journey book.

Gerald May was one of our most gifted writers on the spiritual life -- wise, grounded, humorous, honest, realistic, and courageous. This, his final book, will surely become known as one of his very best. Here, with graceful prose and vivid stories, he extends his explorations of spirituality into the natural world, showing how experience of the world's wilderness can help us embrace the wilderness within all of us. I wish Jerry were still among us to brighten this dark world with his spiritual, emotional and intellectual brilliance. But he could not have left us a finer literary legacy than "The Wisdom of Wilderness".
