On the Shelves in Oxford this week you can either go Backpacking with the Saints or spend your time Living with the Stars - or both! Living with the Stars tells the fascinating story of what truly makes the human body. We are quite literally not who we were years, weeks, or even days ago. Backpacking with the Saints is an intimate narrative of backpacking alone through the wilderness as a spiritual practice.
