Like much of Ilia Delio’s writing I found this short book challenging at times, stretching me intellectually to a point where I couldn’t quite grasp and internalise the ideas and concepts Sr. Ilia was trying to convey.

But I persevered, reading some of the chapters twice and using the reflections at the end of each chapter, and having now finished the book I can say that this was time well spent.

I particularly enjoyed the last three chapters of the book.

I could make a book just from my highlights. She quotes Teilhard de Chardin so much that at times I wondered if I should have just read his works instead.
