Review Quotes

"This is a delightful, deeply inspiring book. Cyprian Consiglio brings his profound theological wisdom and rich interreligious spirituality to weave together Western and Asian traditions into twelve wonderfully enlightening meditations on key Christian themes like baptism, eucharist, vocation, prophecy, and church. I intend to give this book as a gift to my closest friends, with the hope that it will inspire them as much as it has inspired me."--Stephen B. Bevans, professor emeritus, mission and culture, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago

"Cyprian Consiglio's book is a profound invitation to see depth in small things, hidden beauty in the world, and the power of dialogue with life itself. The book is a treat and a retreat. The meditations that this book offers are theological as well as spiritual, testimonies to insights that come from praying, reading, reflecting, and living in the moment. Consiglio's book will bring the readers closer to God, closer to themselves, and closer to the world."--Clemens Sedmak, University of Notre Dame
