Review Quotes
"Thank God there is nothing linear in the lifeline of this book. Delio tells her rising, spiraling story with such transparent joy that she seizes every change of plan as a new dance move from God. Only out of chaos can a star be born, she says, welcoming us to take our own places in the rising, spiraling story of the universe." --Barbara Brown Taylor, author, The Luminous Web"A fascinating account of Ilia Delio's journey from traditional Catholic beliefs and practices to a Teilhardian worldview that joins religion and science." --Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-author, Thomas Berry: A Biography
