In Wolfish, Erica Berry examines these depictions, alongside her own research of the wolf for nearly a decade, to get to the heart of what our stories about the wolf reveal about our relationships with one another and ourselves: 'What does it mean to want to embody the same creature from which you are supposed to be running?'  The wolf is so often depicted as the male predator, preying on the vulnerable girl\/woman who strays from the path; the she-wolf meanwhile depicts women who sit outside the accepted boundaries of feminine behaviour. Berry openly recounts her own uncomfortable and sometimes frightening experiences as a woman to try to understand how we navigate our fears when threat can seem constant.   Through it all, Berry finds new expressions for courage and survival: how to be a brave human and animal member of our fragile, often dangerous world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746665668881,"sku":"NGR9781838854591","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49950128406801,"sku":"GOR012762929","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50503277052177,"sku":"GOR012820863","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53132377751825,"sku":"GOR014762898","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1838854592.jpg?v=1759231805"},{"product_id":"wolfish-book-erica-berry-9781250832672","title":"Wolfish","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor fans of Helen MacDonald's \u003ci\u003eH is for Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e and Mary Roach, Erica Berry's \u003ci\u003eWOLFISH\u003c\/i\u003e blends science, history, and cultural criticism in a years-long journey to understand our myths about wolves, and track one legendary wolf, OR-7, from the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOREGON BOOK AWARD WINNER * Shortlisted for the 2024 Pacific Northwest Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e * \u003cb\u003eA Most Anticipated Book of 2023:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eTIME, Los Angeles Times, Vulture, Salon, Bustle,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Rumpus, Financial Times,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eReader's Digest\u003c\/i\u003e, LitHub, Book Riot\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e Debutiful, and more!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Exhilarating.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWolfish\u003c\/i\u003e starts with a single wolf and spirals through nuanced investigations of fear, gender, violence, and story.

So what is a stupid Christian? Quite simply, it's a Christian who is apathetic toward the Word of God. The message of this book is simple: we will never know God apart from His word, and since His word is the avenue through which He invites us into a relationship with Him, then we had better prioritize it. Stupid Christians addresses common misconceptions, interprets complex biblical themes, and dispels the comfort of convenient Christianity with wit and insightful critique.
