If you are interested in religion, or in enriching your own
religion, or in searching for a religion that suits you, you will
enjoy this book. It is the story of the author's religious journey
in stories, poems and sermons. Early in life, her father took her
brother, the oldest sibling, to one church, and she and her two
older sisters went with their mother to another church. But, she
recalls that her first significant religious experience happened at
home when she was alone.The author's spiritual growth began in this
religiously divided family. She found her way, slowly and
questioning, to a different religion and to her own theology. The
fruits of her journey are, basically, what the book is about -
poems and sermons. The poems chronicle the changes that occur in
her life through this questioning: the meaning of life,
relationships, love, nature, the seasons, and holidays. Writing and
delivering sermons involve the head and the heart, knowledge and
intuition, sensitivity and frankness. These sermons demonstrate the
author's commitment to a religion that fits her science, not a
separation between the two. The sermons are about how to live in
this world with all of its complexities, while understanding that
not only do religions differ widely, but so do individual
theologies, convictions, and personalities. The goal of the sermons
is to help us all make this world a better place to live by
respecting the worth and dignity of every person with justice,
equity, and compassion; engaging in an ongoing search for truth and
meaning; exercising our conscience and the democratic process; and
acknowledging the interdependent web of all existence.
