Language of God

What happens when a fish looks you in the eye—and seems just as curious about you as you are about it? Author Sy Montgomery returns to Language of God to share stories from her journey off the coast of Ecuador to meet giant oceanic manta rays. She takes us into powerful currents, introduces the scientists working to understand and protect these gentle giants, and describes the wonder of being held in a manta’s gaze. Along the way, we explore animal intelligence, what it means for a creature to have a soul, and how paying attention to other animals can shape our faith and teach us to love the living world.
