Gerard Hughes is the author of "God of Surprises" and his books aim to speak directly to the individual stuggling with issues of faith and life and get right to the heart of spiritual needs and concerns. This book is the follow up to "God of Surprises" and is written for a different world and a different spiritual climate. This is a guidebook for the inner journey. It is about recognizing God in the ordinary, in the joy and sadness of things, about knowing that God cannot be separated from whatever we experience. It is written for people on the fringes of Christianity, or those who are disillusioned with church structures and dogmatic theology. Hughes has written this book because he is concerned at the split between religion and life, as if religion was something apart and detached from the rest of God's creation. It is a call to a faith in terminal decline to enlarge its concept of God and break out of the straitjacket of pious religion.
