It's Really All About God

C. Eduardo Vargas's picture

With December here and many people preparing for Christmas and Hanukkah, we often overlook the deeper meanings of the holidays.  In the same way people often eschew religion in favor of spirituality, the deeper meanings of religions are also overlooked.  In a recent book by Samir Selmanovic entitled, It’s Really All About God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish Christian, he writes that “. . . our departure from religion is at the very same time a departure from its rich treasures of community, insight, art, practice, organized action, and hard lessons.  Without religion, we find ourselves isolated, incoherent, and naïve on our spiritual journeys.”

I invite you explore this book that shares anecdotes of religion, spirituality, family and the object of all religions, God. Through his writing you are invited to restore religion as a vital dynamic and living force.  I cannot think of a better book to read for this time of year.
