In Ray Waddle's thirty years as a religion writer, he has seen and heard it all. But it is in the quiet walk to church, or the dark loneliness following his father's funeral, in the music of Thelonious Monk, or the Gospel of Mark, or while standing in line at the bank that God shows up most. This book is about taking God back from co-opted politics, from media's agenda-driven spin, from all the people who are making big claims about a God who very few seem to really know. In the distortion it's easy to lose the God who is ever present and near. Waddle shares a recognition of that divine presence and, as we look through his eyes, we learn to see it for ourselves.
