By John Shelby Spong
This love is something like the footprints of God in which I seek to walk, even as I discover that to walk in these footprints is to go places I fear to go. But when I look up, I can see ahead of me, ducking around the edges of the unknown, what one might call the hindquarters of the divine. Then I discover that the reason I cannot see God but only where God has been is that God is clearly in me, just as God is before me. God is part of who I am and part of who you are. God is love, and so love is God. ... God is the ultimate source of love. One worships this God by loving wastefully, by spreading love frivolously, by giving love away without stopping to count the cost.
I love you all.
Disclaimer: John Shelby Spong is not for everyone. Some of his material is very controversial, and may be offensive to some people. However some things in his books are beautifully profound, and if you have an open mind, you may enjoy them. Just a warning.

I love that....it's so true. And luckily I am truely uncomventional as a lover of Jesus Christ so I might get a lot out of that book.
I got 3 of his books at McNally Robinson in the bargain section for $7 each.
