description: The phrase I'm spiritual but not religious has become a clich. It's easy to find God amid the convenience of self-styled spirituality--but is it possible (and more worthwhile) to search for God through religion?Minister and celebrated author Lillian Daniel gives a new spin on church with stories of what a life of faith can really be: weird wondrous and well worth trying. From a rock-and-roller sexton to a BB gun-toting grandma a church service attended by animals to a group of unlikely theologians at Sing Sing Daniel shows us a portrait of church that is flawed fallible--and deeply faithful. With poignant reflections and sly wit Daniel invites all of us to step out of ourselves dare to become a community and encounter a God greater than we could ever invent.Humorous and sincere this is a book about people finding God in the most unexpected of places: prisons airports yoga classes committee meetings and strangest of all right there in church.
