“John Van Sloten finds divine revelation in a cup of cappuccino and at an NHL hockey game, but he’s far from naive; indeed, his brand of faith is as deep and expansive as his joy is infectious. These are the profoundly humble, intelligent, yearning ramblings of a seeker with wide open eyes and the courage to shove aside conventions of church-culture to discover grace and goodness. “

“Van Sloten manages to turn everyday events such as getting on a plane, watching the Discovery Channel and listening to a Beatles’ song into startling acts of love and hope.”
