Synopsis: Indestructible wrestles divine meaning from everyday experiences in a changing culture. The book honors divine presence, Real Presence, the image of God in the heat and collision of real-world spiritual experience, memories, and debates. Indestructible is a book that speaks to sources and intuitions of God's indwelling in this 21st century world in order to empower readers to find confidence and serenity in their own spiritual intuitions and insights. In Indestructible the author speaks up for some unlikely everyday places of God's indwelling image - sources of confidence and courage for us -- that go overlooked in today's climate of spiritual insecurity and distraction. The author shares glimpses or hunches of that indwelling found in ... the sky, in writing, in walking, in music, in memory, in others and examines traditional disciplines -- Gospel reading, the bread and wine, worship, the very name Jesus - and get beneath social habits or routine theological assumptions in order to find a fresh core of epiphany. This book is an exercise in seizing such moments of truth - arguing the necessity of claiming our own space that sets aside anxiety and renews the faith quest. There, in such spaces, inspiration and resilience and clarity will come.
