God Is Just Love

"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 possibilities that emerge from this love and to imagine and create a better future. Whitt�s vision is both lyrical and practical, right down to ""to do"" lists that we can engage as individuals, families and communities. David L. Wheeler, adjunct professor of theology, Palmer Theological Seminary Ken sees the connection of spirituality and science, brilliantly warning of the risks we face if we ignore what is before us and the generations to come. Each chapter moves the reader more deeply into the urgency of recognizing and responding to the call of love that we owe to our children and to our planet. Truly, Ken Whitt is on a journey where God is his guide and his roadmap is ""Just Love."" Sister Lois Barton, Retreat Leader for the Sisters of St. Joseph and Program Director of the Sophia Center for Spirituality in Binghamton, New York In a world dominated by specialists, Ken Whitt has invested his life towards becoming a generalist who can see the Big Picture. He connects the dots for his readers between: spirituality and science, history and current events, scripture and experience, past and future, despair and hope, love and justice. Ken makes it possible for us to know and share the Universal Story, the story that answers the big questions: Who are we? Why are we here? What do we do next? This is a hopeful and timely message.
