Overview

A personal and moving exploration of how people of any faith can treasure what is theirs, while discovering God, goodness, and grace in others and their traditions.

"Why are thousands not saying what this man is saying? Such obvious truth must be made even more obvious . . . for all of us and for the future of humanity."—Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation

"We need a million more Samirs—people of conviction and humility who know that the vast mystery called God calls us not to the arrogance of 'ownership' but to the beloved community." —Parker J. Palmer, author, Let Your Life Speak and The Courage to Teach

"Samir Selmanovic offers a deeply personal reflection on faith, doubt, and ultimately, spiritual peace."—Daisy Khan, executive director, American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA)

"[T]his love song to the God of all Existence is . . . a work of hope and optimism."—Rabbi Marcia Prager, author, The Path of Blessing: Experiencing the Energy and Abundance of the Divine

"If atheists, agnostics, and non-religious people like myself want to gain understanding and improve the world . . . we need to read . . . the freshest and wisest voices of modern progressive religion. Samir Selmanovic's is just such a fresh voice." —Greg Epstein, Harvard University, and author, Good Without God: What a Billion Non-Religious People Do Believe

"Samir Selmanovic is asking the right questions at the right time, and refusing the consolations of certainty at a time when strident orthodoxies—atheist as well as religious—are perilously dividing us."—Karen Armstrong, author of The Battle for God and A History of God
