Thoughts about God and life. The book is just that, a number of short reflections about our Creator and the lives we live. It considers our beliefs about God. Is our image of God big enough? Do we picture God near enough? And the book acknowledges we all live imperfectly, in an imperfect world, yet it affirms that even with our faults, God is loving and forgiving and is Father. How people believe (or do not believe) in God affects their wholelives and every action. With short reflections, this book seeks to help the reader think about these issues. The hope is that each of us can improve with the belief that a powerful, almighty, caring, Father-God is with us. The message is positive and encouraging, in nontechnical language, and is written for ordinary people living in complicated and often unexpected circumstances. Its tone is good news, the good news of the Gospel. In Scripture, God says, "I will live with them and move among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people"(2 Corinthians6:6). The author is from the Judeo-Christian tradition, a Roman Catholic, but the thoughts are for all.
