Ordinary Life, Extraordinary God

Present reality is transfigured when it encounters another world in this one, disseminating the miraculous in the ordinary every day to effect a process of limitless transformation and possibility. Here is living witness to the bounty of a God who is alive and ever-present in the universe and infinitely available to all, Christian or not. In all his grandeur he appears to the most ordinary, not just the giants of the faith, in his commitment of inextricability from the human race whom he calls beloved. Cross-pollinating the here and now with the extraordinary God of the Old and New Testaments, this chronicle marries memoir and academic research effortlessly. The capacity of God to do absolutely anything at any time for anyone without blowing his own trumpet, both masks and marks the power and extent of his love to improve human circumstances. Over a lifetime of difficulties, dreams, visions, miracles, and doctoral research on God as love itself, the author joins Job whose response to God after a prolonged encounter is, ""I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you"" (Job 42:1).
