Wisdom of Pelicans A Search for Healing at the Water's Edge

Donald McCullough, a respected Presbyterian pastor and president of San Francisco Theological Seminary, watched his world tumble down around him when a private confession of an affair became public. He lost his position, was estranged from family and friends, and his faith was utterly shaken. Writing with courage and absolute candor, McCullough describes the pain of hitting bottom, with nothing left to do but watch the pelicans at the ocean shore. Meditating on these evolutionary survivors, he marveled at their resilience, flourishing as outcasts on the margins of the earth. McCullough draws on nature, his loved ones, and himself to recover the hope -- and the faith -- he thought he had lost forever.
