"[Alan Jones) is a consummate storyteller and his stories illu- minate our human condition as they speak of God's passion for us meeting our passion for God and how we are driven to new levels of honesty, Impatience with humbug and sham, and long to get home... home with God, with ourselves, with our fel- lows, and with the rest of God's creation. In the end It is all so simple and yet so profound... we want to fall down on our knees 'lost in wonder, love, and praise."-DESMOND TUTU, arch- bishop of Cape Town

"Alan Jones reminds us that, as pilgrims, we live in an under- standing that we are part of a larger story and that each of us has a story to share. His book helps us put the stories of our longing in the context of repentance, of hope, and of grace." -EDMOND L BROWNING, presiding bishop, The Episcopal Church
