5.0 out of 5 stars A Moving and Personal Exploration of God and Life, March 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bringing God Home : A Traveler's Guide (Hardcover)
Bringing God Home is a moving and personal exploration of God, of life, and of our many nomadic journeys to the divine. Forrest Church is a longtime Unitarian minister. He brings his many years of ministry to bear on his search for the divine and his search for himself. In between meditations on theology, he digs deep into his own experience. At the beginning, as he recounts his deepening dalliances with alcohol, he finds himself lost on his path toward God. Finding his way home again is what makes this book well worth the read.

But this is not entirely a tale of "sin and redemption." It may leave you feeling restored, but it won't leave you with a treasure-trove of easy answers. Church sees the divine as one light, but we see that light shining through many windows. Underneath all that divides us is the source that brings us together.

His writing is accessible, thoughtful, and patient. There are moments of light-hearted wit and moments of page-turning tension. There are so many entry points to this book. You can flip open to any page and find yourself carried along the journey from home and back again.
