"With his trademark pith and lucidity, Marcus Borg gives us a novel with meat on its bones: his story of theology professor Kate Riley's vocational and spiritual journey has something for the inquirer's intellect, the lover's heart, and the seeker's soul. This is a feast for mind, heart and spirit."
-Anne Sutherland Howard, author of Claiming the Beatitudes: Nine Stories from a New Generation and Executive Director of The Beatitudes Society

"The form is different with Marcus Borg's insightful new novel, but the reader's experience and payoff are the same as with his many excellent non-fiction books: This is a great read that leads to a deeper, more hopeful understanding of the meaning and possibilities of Christian faith today."
-Tom Krattenmaker, USA Today Board of Contributors, author of Onward Christian Athletes.
