How does a person imagine God? How does that image change as the person matures spiritually and undergoes a significant religious experience? What influences political, social, gender, faith tradition shape and change a person s view of God?In this compelling and inspiring book, Brennan Hill uses stories and historical and theological sources to tell us how eight modern religious heroes see God. Hill s religious heroes are diverse: a Hindu (Mahatma Gandhi), a Jewess who converted to Christianity (Edith Stein), a black Baptist minister (Martin Luther King, Jr.), a Catholic laywoman (Dorothy Day), a Salvadoran archbishop (Archbishop Oscar Romero), two Jesuit priests (Pierre Tielhard de Chardin and Daniel Berrigan) and a nun (Mother Teresa of Calcutta).Hill writes: Many of my religious heroes lived out their faith in an outstanding manner. For all of these religious heroes God was often close at hand, deeply felt in the events of their lives, glimpsed in the people they met, pursuing them in their minds and hearts. God, as it were, came with many intriguing faces: as a God of truth, of the homeless and of the mountain. God came in the cosmos, as one beckoning to prophecy and as a fellow sufferer sharing the cross. Divinity appeared as the power of peace and in the poverty of the abandoned. Each one of us might now ask: What face has my God shown to me?

A brief, concise yet informative recapitulation of some exceptional souls that graced us with their: presence, prescience and legacy. Should one look past the forms of these great people, that is to say, past their sex, race, national origin, style of worship, manner of personal comportment; one would find the same spirit compelling them (and hence us) to put away childish things such as: fear, intolerance, avarice, separateness, persecution and violence.This work does not discuss each individual to any great historical depth, rather, it illuminates in high definition the innate potential that is humankinds birthright. Well written and quite inspiring. 4 Stars.
