God's Shoulders: A Review

«You, Lord, pass and pass again through our daily wandering, and in countless ways you let yourself be seen — but always from behind, never face to face. But where? How?» Which "shoulders" do we fail to recognize as God's in our own lives? Marco Bove guides us on a spiritual journey — one that remains deeply human — through the God-seekers of the Old and New Testaments. Beginning with the anonymous, universal words of Psalm 27, each station of this pilgrimage becomes a road, a direction that, as Moses intuits, is also a way of knowing God. The prayer of barren Anna. Elijah's flight. The loss of the beloved in the Song of Songs. Mary of Nazareth's search for meaning in what befalls her. Magdalene's tears. Paul of Tarsus and his false certainties. The thirst of Psalm 63. Men and women, voices that — through accessible, never complicated scripture scholarship — touch the hearts of all who seek, believer and skeptic alike, the Goodness of and within life.
