Publisher's summary

We've been building and making things ever since we stumbled out of paradise. Some of those things are incredible continuations of God's creation, while others are nothing but ambitious catastrophes. We continue making, says Russell Rathbun, but we've lost ourselves in the process.

So how do we find ourselves again-rebuild our connections to each other, the earth, maybe even God? In search of an answer, Rathbun drives cross-country to the Salton Sea and takes a trip to China's Great Wall, interspersing his traveling revelations with engaging musings on Madame Mao's Gang of Four, Grandpa Webb's family secret, the Great Flood, and the Tower of Babel, and a host of other subjects that grab his attention.

Interesting

As I have been to both the Great Wall of China and The Salton Sea, I enjoyed reminiscing and learning more about the history of the two places.

Larry Herron did a great job narrating.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
