About God Is Just Love: Building Spiritual Resilience And
Product Description How can people of faith foster love and resilience in our children while building sustainable, diverse communities? That's the big question Ken Whitt answers in light of the many threats looming in our world. Through wisdom he has gleaned from scientists, scholars and lots of real families, Ken shows how God's love is a hopeful compass in our lives. He encourages enjoying stories, songs and explorations of the natural world with children, and closes with "100 Things Families Can Do To Find Hope and Be Love." Because Ken has years of experience working with multi-generational groups, his book encourages reflections and activities with our families that he knows will be both fun and faithful. The cover of his book illustrates a central story he shares about the wonderment families discover when they look up into the starry night sky with their children. "Ken Whitt offers care to weary souls in this book. It is not just his words but the spirit that manifests through the words. Ken says that love is at the heart of reality and love is what he gently breathes on us here," Christian ethicist David Gushee, author of Changing Our Mind, writes in the book's Foreword. "As you read this wise and joyful book, I know you will feel both instructed and delighted, and you will agree that your life has been enriched by adopting Ken Whitt as a literary pastor, mentor and friend," Brian McLaren, best-selling author of more than 20 books, writes in the Preface. "In extensive dialog with scientists and theologians, Ken shows the delightful and enriching complementarity of faith and science. Both can feed us mentally and emotionally, and both are needed to move us in constructive and creative ways in the face of the global perils we face," writes Daniel Buttry, author of Blessed Are the Peacemakers and the former Global Consultant for Peace and Justice of the American Baptist Churches. Review Ken Whitt presents a fresh perspective for our unprecedented times on spirituality and science. With abundant references to both scripture and science, Ken offers new concepts with nearly every turn of the page. His poetic style makes these concepts accessible and easy to grasp. I especially like the "100 Things Families Can Do to Find Hope and Be Love." C. Jeff Woods, Interim General Secretary, American Baptist Churches, USA, author, Better Than Success, 8 Principles of Faithful Leadership God Is Just Love is a warm and deeply personal book about a journey into the unconditional love of God -- and into a luminous spirituality where science and religion complement each other as paths of understanding that help us to access that Love -- in nature, in one another and especially in our own hearts. Carl McColman, author of Unteachable Lessons and Befriending Silence This book offers a much-needed guide for parents and all of us as we navigate the rising waters of our changing climate. Wonderful stories unfold the path of creative love, courage, spiritual practice and resilience, teaching us how to walk together into future. Nancy Flinchbaugh, author of Awakening: A Contemplative Primer on Learning to Sit and Letters from the Earth If you're a parent or Christian educator, tired of false choices between faith and science, Ken Whitt offers this accessible intergenerational resource to help your family or congregation experience God's ever-present love more deeply and grow in love for -- and commitment to -- all of our neighbors in God's creation. Betsy J. Sowers, Minister for Earth Justice, Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Cambridge, MA Ken Whitt weaves a tapestry of conversations with children, explorations of life in community, and dialogue with physicists and theologians of a scientific bent. In Whitt's telling, the "singularity" -- the original condition which stands at the heart of contemporary cosmology -- corresponds to God as "just love": love before, beside and beyond all reality. Our invitation is to embrace the possi
