Welcome home!Endorsements:"In his nakedness and vulnerability, [Llenado] was given a fresh, almost wordless experience of Reality. He awakened to the reality of his profound inter-connectedness with everything from the vastness of the cosmos to the suffering of the people around him. He awakened to a compassion for himself and others that had not been given room to grow. And he awakened to a sense of the whole cosmos as sacred, the dwelling place of Spirit, one of the most widespread spiritual themes of our age. I have witnessed others make this same journey; indeed, I have been led along it myself. And I believe countless thousands of others are on a similar path."-from the Foreword by Robert Corin MorrisFounder, Interweave Center for Wholistic LivingAbout the Contributor(s):Ferdinand Llenado has been a pastor of the United Methodist Church for twenty years.
