About this listen

 Jane Goodall's destiny has been blessed with faith, resolve, and purpose. From a little girl inspired by Tarzan, she became the woman who worked alongside famed paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey, accomplished scientific breakthroughs in Gombe, and ultimately became a champion of the environment. The journey has not been without its crises; she endured the horrors of World War II, assaults on the integrity of her work, a hostage-taking at Gombe, and her husband's slow, agonizing death. But throughout, her religious convictions have helped her survive - and Jane Goodall's pursuit of science has enhanced, not eroded, her belief in God. In this biography, she candidly shares her life, as well as the Gombe chimpanzees she introduced to the world nearly forty years ago. And she gives us convincing reasons why we can and must open ourselves to the saints within each of us. At one with nature and challenged by the man-made dangers of environmental destruction, inequality, materialism, and genocide, Dr. Goodall offers insight into her perceptions of these threats and celebrates the people who are working for Earth's renewal. Here, indeed, is Reason for Hope.©2000 Jane Goodall (P)16 9; 1999 Time Warner AudioBooks (Packaging Elements Only), A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Biological Sciences Christianity Environment Ministry & Evangelism Nature & Ecology Professionals & Academics Science Science & Technology Women Conservation Africa

Loved every moment of this book, so well told. Jane is such an inspiration and her connection to nature is one that resonates deeply with me. I’m excited to read this again when the time comes.

Dr. Goodall has been a beacon of hope for me during this dark period of climate change, vanishing species and global abuse of our planet. She offers many stories from her own life journey with a summary of why she remains inspired to keep going. Jane is not affiliated with any particular religion but does see life from a place of reverence and mystery. I highly recommend this book to people of all ages and beliefs. Truly an evolved and compassionate human being and I’m so thankful to have had a glimpse into her miraculous life story.
