the Stuff God Is, We Are Too: Challenge of Nones and Latinx Obstacles that Prevent Our Seeing

This book is an attempt to see God everywhere and in everyone. I speak specifically to Nones and Latinx, as well as others who have left the church in search of a greater depth to their faith. I seek to reimagine the meaning of sacrament inherited from colonial Christianity and make it personal and contextual, a way of seeing that transforms how we see ourselves, one another, and our stewardship of the earth. More than just a series of childhood church rituals, which for many holds little meaning, I seek to reclaim the notion of sacrament as a visible grace by turning to the ancient practice of contemplation as a faith-consciousness that helps us arrive at a new understanding of what a sacrament is-that is, this book is about recovering a "sacramental spirituality," a place of inner awareness that helps us to see through new eyes. What you're looking at is where you're looking from; and it's my hope this book helps you to see again, to respond to the diminished sanctity of reality, and to recover the divinity embedded in everything.
