A Voluptuous God

"Voluptuous" may not be a common word associated with "God," but the author speaks metaphorically of God in a way that calls us to laughter, love, and joy - voluptuousness as "full delight" - and invites us to worship a God of intimacy rather than a God of distance. The light yet not trivial tone of this work supports the author's basic premise that we are meant to live our humanity joyfully, thankfully, and fully from our hearts. The book is rooted in the Christian tradition but affirms that truth can also be found in other religions, spirituality, and secular practices.
