God of the Wild Places: The Power of Adventure

Schoolteacher Paul Pringle has faced many challenges in his life: struggles with alcohol and anxiety, with what it means to be a man, and with the very meaning of life itself.

by Paul Yunus Pringle

Schoolteacher Paul Pringle has faced many challenges in his life: struggles with alcohol and anxiety, with what it means to be a man, and with the very meaning of life itself.

In this autobiography, Pringle recounts his experience as an ultra marathon runner, as he is challenged by some of the world’s most extreme sporting events, including the Marathon des Sables and the Yukon Arctic Ultra. But the outward struggle supports a growing sense of self-knowledge and of bonding with the natural world from which modernity had alienated him. This is a true story of personal transformation, of the discovery of true masculinity amid the confusions of modern Britain, and of a painful but grace-filled journey to the changeless Madina of truth.
