Title: Redwoods and Whales: Becoming Who You Actually Are
Author: Phil Joel
Genre: Spiritual, Christian
Rating: 5 out of 5
Redwoods and Whales offers a warning and a promise:
The warning: Don’t become that beached whale, trying to live in a foreign environment.
The promise: You will find freedom when your identity is centered under the safety of the Divine.
Life is tough. Depression, addiction, suicide, violence…they’re all commonplace in our society, and they make it hard to know where to turn. Despite the “connectedness” of our social media word, many people feel alone and adrift. But we have a choice: we can choose to seek God and His true nature, and we can choose to live healthy, purpose-filled lives.
I wasn’t sure what to expect of this book, but Redwoods and Whales brought inspiration and hope while acknowledging the sometimes-bleak world around us. The casual tone combined with the chatting-with-a-friend feel of the book makes it easier to soak in the deep message in this book.
Phil Joel is a musician and an artist. Redwoods and Whales: Becoming Who You Actually Are is his debut book.
