God's Country (The Aesthetic)
Atheist Cole Vandergrift has a loving family, stable career, and good health, but is in a mid-life struggle to balance all three. Part of his dilemma lies with his twin brothers-in-law, Mark and Matt, who are teaching his teenage sons their ultra-religious beliefs. On his 49th birthday, Cole receives a bittersweet gift. The sweet: he’ll be taking an 8-day trip deep into the Rocky Mountains, to unwind and learn how to fly-fish. The bitter: his excursion guides will be none other than the devoutly pious twins.
The three men set off on their trip, fully expecting some conflict along the way. But none of them could have been prepared for the test of faith and survival that God’s country has in store for them

Thank you, Eckley, for taking us on a journey to learn how to ask questions, exist in the tension, and marvel at the mysteries we don’t yet know.

Very few books that I read actually “stay with me”. I think this book will for a long time.
