| Publisher Description: How I Found God in Everyone and Everywhere captures for a general audience the spiritual shift away from a God "up there" and "out there" and towards an immanent divine right here. It's built around the personal journeys of a close-knit group of prominent contributors. Their spiritual visions of immanence, sometimes called "panentheism," are serving as a path of spiritual return for a growing number of seekers today. Contributors include Deepak Chopra, Richard Rohr, Matthew Fox, Rupert Sheldrake, Cynthia Bourgeault, Ilia Delio, Keith Ward, John B. Cobb Jr., Loriliai Biernacki, Marjorie H. Suchocki, and Rabbi Bradley Shavid Artson. |
