I am reading this wonderful book given to me by a neighbor because of the conversations we have had over the years.

He and I come from opposite ends of the political spectrum. We both also enjoy discovering new perspectives or at least trying to understand them. This book is about the ability to rejoice in understanding what is around you. To discover who you are. It also has a spiritual aspect to it, not religious but spiritual. A great line about Jesus in the book was spoken by someone who was not Christian who said, "the lovely thing about Jesus was that he was so at home with sinners, because he understood that he wasn't one bit better than they were." We differ from criminals only in what we do or don't do, not in what we are.
