So much of being Catholic has little to do with formal prayer or
Mass or anything overtly religious. A good portion of living our
faith is about how we respond to the challenges of everyday life.
How do we draw on our relationship with God and the resources of
our faith in crisis, confusion and loneliness, when faced with
injustice, criticism or heartbreak? Faith, if it is to survive,
must be relevant throughout all the seasons of our lives. Faith
must be real every day, when life is exciting, when we are in chaos
and even when life is predictable and ordinary. The witness of the
Catholic tradition is that faith in Christ is all that and more.
The key is to begin to see God in all things, great and small. That
is the road to discovery. There we will encounter the holy as well
as be confronted by great evil and sublime beauty. There we will
find ourselves, beloved sons and daughters of God. A mix of wheat
and weeds growing together, loved despite our limitations and
invited into the great mission that is to be a saint in today's
world. "There's a Beer in My Handbag" takes you on a journey deeper
into the mystery of yourself as you endeavor to find your place
with God. One part retreat, two parts theology, three parts
testimony, this collection of everyday reflections uncovers
eternity at every turn. Whether stranded at an airport or attending
Easter Mass in a cemetery, finding meaning in dirty diapers and
dishes or contemplating the beauties of the Catholic world, Dave
invites readers to see the presence of God everywhere. If you are
on a spiritual journey, you will find a home in these pages. If you
are seeking meaning and purpose, you will meet fellow companions on
that same road. For those rooted in their identity and practice of
the Catholic faith, you will be driven into deeper waters,
stretched to consider the implications of the cross in your life.
Regardless of where you are with God, the words of this book will
leave little doubt in your mind that you are not alone. There are
many who are asking the same questions, facing the same struggles
and longing for the same intimacy with God. More than anything else
though, there is Christ, who stands at the heart of every journey.
