“Thus, when you wake up in the morning, called by God to be a self again, if you want to know who you are, watch your feet. Because where your feet take you, that is who you are.”

Work
The alphabet of grace
This book organizes its meditation on grace in an alphabetical structure, using each letter as a prompt to consider different facets of the idea—from forgiveness and kindness to unmerited favor and divine love. Rather than a linear narrative, it offers a series of contemplative passages that invite readers to ponder how grace manifests in human relationships, personal growth, and religious thought. The approach suggests a gentle, methodical journey through language and experience, aiming to illuminate the subtle ways grace operates in ordinary life and profound moments alike. more
