Weaving feminism & spirituality into a vision of justice for the world
“Gessner’s highly accessible account of her spiritual awakening and journey into hospital chaplaincy offers insightful lessons for everyone, those with and without formal religious beliefs. She bravely pursued her path despite the skepticism of her artsy, intellectual, and agnostic family and friends. Her perceptions alert us to the meaning and depth available to us all, even in life’s most quotidian moments—like hearing geese honking as they travel overhead or finding feathers on a path. Her reflection questions at the end of each chapter are little jewels for revelation and personal growth.”
–Carol Henderson

You’ll discover how even in turbulent times, you are never truly alone. There are unseen forces carrying and shaping you, sending signs – unpredictable coincidences and synchronicities to care for and connect with you.
