Finding God in the World: A Spiritual Revolution

Nautilus Award winner, Diana Butler Bass, recipient of the RNA Book Award and the Wilbur Award, offers readers a special paperback edition of her acclaimed book, "Grounded." This edition includes a 40-day devotional that pairs passages from the original book with prayers and reflections, making it ideal for use during the Lenten season or any season of reflection.

In a time when traditional religious practices are declining in America, Bass argues that this shift actually signifies a significant transformation in how people perceive and connect with God. Rather than a distant deity of conventional religion, an intimate sense of the sacred that permeates the world around us is emerging. This shift, from a vertical understanding of God to a more horizontal one found in nature and human community, is at the core of a spiritual revolution that is not only challenging religious institutions but also political and social structures.

In "Grounded," Bass explores this cultural shift as she delves into how individuals are discovering and embracing God in the world surrounding them – in nature, community, homes, and even in the global commons. Faith is no longer confined to mountainous experiences or institutional practices; instead, people are connecting with the divine through the environment in which they reside.

Drawing on the latest research, historical and theological knowledge, as well as personal stories and spiritual journeys, Bass provides a comprehensive understanding of this spiritual revolution. Through a blend of news, trends, data, spiritual texts, and ancient traditions, "Grounded" captures and explains the radical change in how people comprehend God and practice their faith. Bass invites readers to join this emerging spiritual revolution, embrace a revitalized expression of faith, and ultimately, work towards changing the world.
