"The authentic foundation of all true religion is the rediscovery of the defaced image of God inside of the human person, inside of this world, in what will always feel like the naked and empty now. This is the ladder to heaven, and it is everywhere.

"A splendid book for men! It will haunt and engage you." -- Walter Brueggemann, author
"Women: give this book to someone you love, but read it for yourself too. It is filled with wonderful insights on what it means to be human." -- Paula D'Arcy, author of Gift of the Red Bird
