Rivers and Forests
Essays on Faith, Society and the Caribbean MindBy Wayne Westphal Barrow
Length2h 59m
About this audiobook
Rivers and Forests is a thoughtful collection of essays reflecting on faith, family, culture, and the changing moral landscape of the modern world.
Drawing from a life lived across the Caribbean and beyond, Wayne Westphal Barrow explores subjects ranging from fatherhood and aging to technology, sport, and the quiet wisdom found in nature. With a voice that is reflective, candid, and often humorous, these essays examine the tensions between tradition and modernity, faith and scepticism, solitude and community.
Whether recounting childhood journeys to a small public library, tending a backyard garden while competing with mischievous monkeys for mangoes, or reflecting on the enduring influence of fathers and mentors, Barrow invites readers into a world shaped by memory, moral reflection, and cultural identity.
At once personal and philosophical, Rivers and Forests is a meditation on what it means to live thoughtfully in a rapidly changing world.
