Stephanie Varnon-Hughes
Where is God? What is God? Is God far away from us? For many today, the spiritual journey has led to the discovery of a divine reality we already inhabit, one that encompasses and animates us all.
How I Found God in Everyone and Everywhere: An Anthology of Spiritual Memoirs captures for a general audience the spiritual shift away from popular notions of a God “up there” and “out there” and toward immanent and inclusive understandings of a God in our very midst.
Sometimes called “panentheism,” this relational and participatory vision is rekindling the spiritual journeys of many seekers today. This God is not found in some people and some places, but in everyone and everywhere.
Pantheism: a doctrine that identifies God with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of God.
Panentheism: the belief or doctrine that God is greater than the universe and includes and interpenetrates it.
