"""Thank God there is nothing linear in the lifeline of this book. Delio tells her rising, spiraling story with such transparent joy that she seizes every change of plan as a new dance move from God. Only out of chaos can a star be born, she says, welcoming us to take our own places in the rising, spiraling story of the universe."" --Barbara Brown Taylor, author, The Luminous Web""A fascinating account of Ilia Delio's journey from traditional Catholic beliefs and practices to a Teilhardian worldview that joins religion and science."" --Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-author, Thomas Berry: A Biography"
