Spirit In Action
Each week, Spirit In Action brings you stories of people living lives of fruitful service, of peace, community, compassion, creative action and progressive efforts. We'll trace the spiritual roots that support and nourish them in their service. Above all, we'll seek out Light, Love and Helping Hands, being shared between our many neighbors on this planet, hoping to inspire and encourage you to sink deep roots and produce sacred fruit in your own life.

Spirit In Action is an hour of interviews with those providing leadership in peace, justice and "good works", interspersed with relevant music.

The theme music is "The Turning of the World" performed by Sara Thomsen (written by Ruth Pellham) and "I Have No Hands But Yours" by Carol Johnson

Description ExcerptsComments
Sam Thayer's 1st book was Forager's Harvest and his new book is Nature's Garden, invaluable info on getting to the heart of nature through our stomachs. Jim Backus has released 4 books this past year with stunning photography and simple, compelling prose, leading us to connect with the Earth and its animals. In December he released 2 Voyage Into Nature collections and New Pack on the Prairie, a children's story based on photographs of a wolf pack in North Dakota.
