Where our Humanity meets our Divinity
As humans, we look for something that can help us feel like we have control, or at least some one or some thing is in control.
But what if God isn’t here to support or save us?
What if God is simply to be within us?
What if a divine connection between all that exists is all there is? Nothing with control or power over, but a divine potential that is ours to be immersed within?
Life lived in the paradox of our humanity and our divinity may mean that we do not have distinct answers nor the comfort and security of a definable path for our lives. We have to be able to hold the paradox, whether in ease or in discomfort, joy or sorrow, or anything in between.
We must do both ~ embrace our human condition and surrender to the sacredness within it.
Can we? Can we walk the road where our humanity meets our divinity?
Within these pages, Melissa Rose Harris encounters this challenging idea, creating an open dialogue around what it means to be human and holy, and guides readers through ways to embrace it. Follow her journey, her struggles and triumphs, some of which may mirror your own, in Where Our Humanity Meets Our Divinity.

Beautiful. The book was amazing. There are things it has prompted me to question and invited me to look deeper into about my faith. And things that kind of affirmed what I had been intuitively sensing or believing or even just had constructed in my own mind of what God and Jesus are really about to me.
I can't say that I am abandoning Christianity or all of what is in the Bible because I do believe they can go with the idea of what I have created in my mind to be God and Jesus. But also because I know that the year I read through and studied the Bible in depth, that in itself prompted me to both question and believe some of the things in that text. And questioning is one of the ways we break down old constructs that only cause suffering and invite others to connect their humanity with their divinity as well. 💚🙏

This book perfectly brings together the research and teachings from the religious world with our day to day living and thinking. The perfect book for anyone who is grieving, coping, or searching for meaning in their divine place in humankind.
