Synopsis

Hank Mattimore's teachers have come from all walks of life but none more important than the children he has mentored. Amazed by the innate spirituality of children, he finds himself challenged to become more in touch with his own higher power. A former newspaper columnist and spiritual writer, Mattimore finds the presence of God in the ordinary things of daily life from the yearning of a foster child for the dad he never had, to the sound of waves lapping against the shore and the magic of a stranger's kindness. He takes his inspiration not as much from the dogmas of organized religion as from the miracles of everyday life. It is here, in the present and in the faces of children that we find the God of loveliness.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Priest, writer, newspaper columnist, dad and grandpa, Hank Mattimore’s life has been influenced dramatically by the many stories he has lived. Leaving the priesthood because of a strong desire to marry and have a family, he married a Jewish woman, with whom he had two children and now two grandchildren. After a painful divorce, he eventually remarried but after ten years of marriage, he lost his wonderful wife, Kathleen to cancer. He then moved into the Children’s Village as a live-in grandpa for twenty-four abused and neglected children. He now lives with his foster grandson in Santa Rosa.
