For people of all faiths and backgrounds who never thought they would read a book of theology-let alone understand and enjoy it, savor it, and have it affect the way they think about their lives. In 45 intense meditations, each a page or two in length, Stone-teacher, poet, practical philosopher-takes us on explorations of the most basic human struggles: Life and death, love and anger, peace and war, covenant and exile.This work results from the author's own personal struggle for meaning and faith following a great family tragedy.
