Synopses & Reviews
From the writings of one of today's most visionary spiritual thinkers -- praised by Harvey Cox, William Sloane Coffin, and Bob Edgar -- comes a book of profound explorations on faith, love, and life. In 12 provocative essays, Loder shares his gifted insights into the sneaky ways God surfaces in the muddle of everyday life.
Loder once said, This is the core issue of religion: If God is real, why isn't God as evident to us as everything else that's real? Over and over again, his writing provides clues in our search for answers. On the birth of his first grandson, Loder penned:
Our part is to keep a sharp eye out for the God who is with us. It is to pay attention to life and love as we run, dance, limp along, in laughter and in tears . . . for I have paid attention to you [my grandson] and in your eyes, a'swim with mystery still, I have seen God looking back.
The Haunt of Grace is a book for spiritual travelers, calling us to trust the scary, beautiful, painful, wonderful, terrible, tender configurations of the mysteries of life. Loder reaches out to seekers from all backgrounds -- and speaks with particular poignancy to those who struggle with their faith.
