We Stood Upon Stars
We Stood Upon Stars: Finding God in Lost Places | Roger W. Thompson
6 posts | 2 read
Get Lost. . . and Find What Really Matters We are made for freedom and adventure, friendship and romance. Yet too much of life is spent unfulfilled at work, restless at home, and bored at church. All the while knowing there is something more. Youll find some of lifes best moments waiting for you over a campfire, on a rivereven in that coffee shop or brewery you didnt know youd discover along the way. Its time to begin the search. In the literary spirit of well-worn tales about Americas open road, this poetic, honest, often hilarious collection of essays shows how to embark on adventures that kindle spiritual reflection, personal growth, and deeper family connections. From surfing Californias coastlines, stargazing southwestern deserts, and fly-fishing in remote mountains of Montana, youll be inspired to follow the authors footsteps and use the hand-drawn maps from each chapter to plan your own trips. There you will hear Gods voice and it may help you find what youre searching for. We search mountaintops and valleys, deserts and oceans, hoping sunrises and long views through the canyons will help us discover who we are, or who we still want to be. The language of our hearts reflects that of creation because in both are fingerprints of God. Roger W. Thompson

This memoir takes you on a journey with the author through the American West as he tries to reconcile difficult life transitions with finding God in unexpected places. While honest, funny, and even poetic at times, this one fell a little flat for me. Some of the narrative felt disjointed and came across as a little too Wild at Heart for my taste. #29by29

A nice read about a man's journey in finding God in the wilderness of the mountains, plains, deserts, and rivers of the Western U.S. (&Baja California). It made me crave the peace of the outdoors, but other than that I didn't connect in a deeper way. The stories seemed disconnected from each other and it was hard to get into.
