As I read God Is Not Fair I had a sense of a familiar experience. After leaning back for a few moments to see if I could identify it, I finally recognized what it was. Reading Dan Horan's reflections was like reliving the encounters I have had with important spiritual mentors in my life: contemplatively based, realistic, marked by simplicity, and a call to good action. Just right. -Robert J. Wicks, General Editor, Prayer in the Catholic Tradition Usually the 'Best of' album appears several decades into an artist's career, but Dan Horan's collection of articles and essays emerges in the early years of his third decade of life. This gathering of insight expresses the writer's thoughts as a disciple of Jesus, a talented theologian, and a committed Franciscan. This collection is sure to captivate, provoke, inspire, and challenge. -Stephen J. Binz, biblical theologian, writer, and speaker at www.Bridge-B.com In this compelling book, one of my favorite spiritual writers offers wisdom through an array of topics that, while broad in focus, draw us back again and again to the same foundation: the transforming call to love God and love others with all that we have. Dan Horan has written a book accessible and valuable for every reader. -Jamie Arpin-Ricci, pastor, Little Flowers Community, Winnipeg, and author of Vulnerable Faith It takes a sage to see that God is not fair--and that for this we should be grateful! It is almost as if to say, 'Read if you dare.' More fitting, I suggest, is 'Read if you care.' If you care to see how the lens of Christian discipleship really does open us to a deeper understanding of the hopes and dreams, the sufferings and fears of contemporary culture. If you care to see how even a few words of Scripture have the power to resonate and challenge, to speak to our hearts, to comfort and challenge and change us. If you care to reimagine the meaning of vocation, to see that regardless of your state in life, Christ calls you to bear witness to the Gospel in the world in a way that you and only you can do. -Mary Stommes, editor, Give Us This Day
