Where Earth Meets Heaven: Seeing God in Your Life

by Kenneth Rolheiser, Ron Rolheiser (Foreword)

There is a story told about ancient monks who searched the earth looking for the door to heaven. Finally, they found it, the place where heaven meets earth. When they opened the door, they were back at their monastery, where they lived heir daily lives….

The greatest role that you and I can play in God's Kingdom on earth is to be at the place where earth meets heaven. It is a simple goal to achieve: a kind word, a drink of water, a visit to a shut in, a smile! "In as much as you have done this to the least of my brethren, you have done it to me!" —from Chapter One

In this humorous, sometimes poetic book, author Ken Rolheiser addresses the spiritual hunger of those who want a direct and immediate relationship with God. Drawing on his own experiences growing up in a large rural family, he offers a path to a spirituality that is both within and beyond the trials and joys of everyday life. He challenges and inspires readers to embrace their own experience of God and to share it with others, to understand our Christianity as a call to being Christ for others.
