In a series of alphabetically arranged reflections, Mark Patrick Hederman draws together memoir, theology, philosophy, literature, and cultural history to illuminate the deepest questions of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the startling idea that God is in love with creation, Hederman invites readers into a lifelong dialogue between the human person and the divine. Through personal stories – from rural Ireland to Paris in the era of Vatican II – he examines how identity is formed, how belief survives doubt, and how each individual becomes a unique “I” within a vast and interconnected universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the book is a vision of spirituality that is both ancient and radically fresh. Engaging with Eastern and Western Christian traditions, Hederman explores the concept of divine “energy” (\u003ci\u003eenergeia\u003c\/i\u003e) – a living presence accessible to every person—and the idea that human beings are called into a dynamic partnership with God. Faith here is not merely doctrine, but relationship, participation, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy God, My God\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econfronts the challenges of contemporary culture. It grapples with the “death of God” narrative, the authority and failures of institutional religion, and the dominance of scientific rationalism, offering instead a recovery of myth, imagination, and symbolic ways of knowing. Hederman argues that these are not relics of the past but essential tools for understanding realities that lie beyond logic alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, the book returns to one central insight: each person is utterly unique, irreplaceable, and called into a relationship of love that transcends biology, psychology, and history. Heaven and hell are not distant places, but conditions shaped by our freedom – by our capacity to accept or refuse that love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with intellectual depth, wit, and poetic sensitivity,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy God, My God\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003espeaks equally to believers, sceptics, and seekers. It offers not a system of answers, but a profound invitation: to rediscover the divine within the fabric of everyday life, and to uncover, within oneself, a path toward meaning, connection, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRE-ORDER!
