Amazon.co.uk Review
Growing up in Africa, Gareth Patterson was always attracted to lions. When he came to school in England he still felt drawn to them and as soon as possible he got in touch with veteran lion people George and Joy Adamson. He wound up as George Adamson's assistant, and after Adamson's murder he went on to live with lions and is now considered Adamson's heir. Patterson works tirelessly to help preserve lions and their natural habitat from the even more predatory beast--man.
Growing up in Africa, Gareth Patterson was always attracted to lions.

He wound up as George Adamson's assistant, and after Adamson's murder he went on to live with lions and is now considered Adamson's heir. Patterson works tirelessly to help preserve lions and their natural habitat from the even more predatory beast--man.
Patterson has written seven books about his life with lions. In this volume he explores "lion spirituality". He shows how the lions' beauty and mysterious link with nature can help people rediscover their own spiritual wholeness. Nature lovers of all kinds will enjoy his stories about lions and his remarkable life with them. Anyone horrified by humanity's continued rape of the natural world will sympathise with Patterson's passionate appeal for harmony between humanity and nature. However, those who are looking for genuine spirituality will not find much to build on in Patterson's book. There are some good ideas on how to relax and envision a better self, and his "seven vital lion precepts" are good reminders of some common sense principles; but the spiritual content is pretty thin. Lions are fantastic creatures, but deep breathing and thinking about the goodness of lions doesn't take you too far on the spiritual path. --Dwight Longenecker
Product Description
Take a journey towards rediscovering the connection between man, nature and God. By describing certain profound moments which he has had while living with lions, Gareth Patterson shows it is vital we realize the mystical link between us and all creatures if we are to free ourselves from the lonliness of spirit and sense of no purpose. The author details seven precepts of the lion: self-reliance; loyalty; fellowship; willingness to care; unconditional love; courage; and determination. By taking on these lessons of the lions we can learn to live with a greater sense of pride, community and meaning.
