Time Out

About the Book

Time Out: A Second Look at Nature engages readers with an opportunity to ask, examine and ponder critical questions which fundamentally challenge conventional thinking and beliefs about God, nature and our very humanness. It is natural to be curious about such questions but we are trained as children that it is forbidden to ask them. We consider ourselves fortunate to live in the most highly developed technological time that has ever existed. It is almost embarrassing to admit, even to ourselves, that we have doubts regarding the gains of conventional science and technology. Is it no wonder that one of reality TV’s most popular shows is about modern people returning to primitive settings and forming tribes? Is this the only way for contemporary people to understand the basics of what it means to be human; that our earth is a temporary abode and that passing the test of being your brother’s keeper is the only way to ensure happiness here on earth? Cal Mbano, a teacher and naturalist learner invites you to explore the purpose for our existence here on earth through his unique perspective.
