Synopsis

Profiles, Poems, Prayers is a collection of theological reflections inspired by so-called ordinary people whose circle of celebrity is family, friends, and their community. In a sense, this is a book about you and me. Your portrait and name may not grace its pages, but you will find yourself here and there in the prayers offered, and the people profiled. They represent the giggling toddler skipping down your street, your work colleague, your favorite aunt, teacher, coach, or workout instructor--names and faces of everyday folk--who may never gain fame or fortune but are anything but ordinary.  Profiles, Poems, Prayers is not a "believe-what-I-belief" book. My reflections are open-ended musings for believers, skeptics, agnostics, atheists, and humanists who may question the divinity of Jesus but who subscribe to his compassionate ministry and message. The ultimate value of theology and ideology is determined by kindness. Belief systems are measured by how we live in relationship with others and our environment. This does not mean beliefs do not matter. What we believe is important recognizing that at our best, we only approximate the truth.
