Dreaming (Compass: Christian Explorations of Daily Living)
"By reminding us that dreams are the rich loam from which imagination grows and a way that the 'dreaming God' communicates with God's children so taken with their ideologies and fancies, Holmes invites us to the place in which we encounter the holy mystery of God. Deftly bringing into dialogue the science of dreaming and the religious mystery of dreams, as amply born witness to in Scripture and in the witness of the saints, she demonstrates that between them there is no mutual exclusivity. Finally, Holmes's narrations of the church's sublimation of this important means of divine communication and her own family's inhabitation of this richly textured landscape weave a prose shaped, yet poetically infused, work of theology as engaging as it is enlightening. Recommended for college, seminary, and general audiences exploring mysticism and theology." --Stephen G. Ray Jr., Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
