FINDING GOD IN UNEXPECTED PLACES

The author and columnist invites Christians everywhere to bring their beliefs into the morally barren climate he sees in most of America today. Traces of God, he says, can be found everywhere we look for them--not just in the beauty of physical nature, but in the works of artists and writers, in the diverse cultures of people across the world, and in the overwhelming tragedies that loom in our past, present, and future. Mel Foster's reading is competent, if a little dry for the beauty of this material. The emotionally balanced writing transforms a potentially divisive polemic into an invitation to transcend the banality of living by approaching life with a more spiritual focus.
