“I think about James Baldwin, whose words are just now beginning to seep into my soul, who also once wrote, “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”3 He knew then, just as I’m learning now, that books connect us to the experiences of other people, of both the dead and those who are alive, to show us that we’re not alone, to provide us with a sense of belonging.”

“The homeless man sitting by the road begging for beer money? Christ made manifest. The grocery clerk standing on her feet all day saying a thousand hellos to a thousand different strangers? Christ made manifest. The nun walking through the subway station, the Buddhist monk catching the city bus, the window washer scrubbing the side of a Manhattan sky rise five hundred feet in the air? Christ made manifest, Christ made manifest, Christ made manifest. The image of God imprinted on every human, everywhere—the shiny stuff of heaven made tangible across the faces of ethnicities and cultures and people groups.”
