I was asked by the author to write an endorsement of the book, so I read it in process of publication. Now it's out. Bruce writes as a Process Theologian (open and relational) who is interested in the intersection of different spiritualities. Thus, he offers us a look at the ways in which different religious traditions offer us insights into the nature of God and the human experience of God.

Here is my blurb: "Bruce introduces us to a wide variety of traditions from Judaism to Native American spirituality, helping prepare us for fruitful conversations and expanded experiences of the sacred. So, welcome to the journey."
