This invitation to prayer by the bestselling author of "God Is Near offers a way of seeing and being in the presence of an "everywhere God" in all, through all, never absent, always near.
In this charming and deeply spiritual tale, a woman named Hope explores many of life's most profound questions--surprisingly assisted by her cat Faith and her bird, George. These three talk about God's presence and about suffering and death and the meaning of life. They talk about a prayerful relationship with God, "the presence all around us holding everything together." Together they tackle some very tough questions, and through this sharing and reflection, Hope gains a new and deeper understanding of Jesus, God, faith, and religion. Through this deceptively simple book, Morwood offers an invitation to all believers to reflect, pray, discuss, and grow so that they too might experience God, Jesus, and the Spirit more deeply and profoundly.
In the first part of the book Morwood summarises the key theological shifts that necessitate changes to liturgical, group and personal prayer. In the second part he demonstrates how these major shifts can be incorporated into a new template for meaningful, contemporary prayer.
The author seeks to counter commonly held notions--like the need for people to earn or be worthy of God's love--with the loving portrait of the Father handed down by Jesus.

This calls for a major overhaul in how we understand "God," how we interpret Jesus as revealing the Divine Presence in human form, and what this means for worship and prayer. This contemporary "story" is radically different from the traditional Christian story about an elsewhere, heavenly God who disconnected from humanity
The author believes the time has come to reform Christian thinking by shifting from the belief that Jesus essentially is an incarnate God-figure on whom access to eternal life with God depends. This book present the position that if Jesus is God's incarnate, then believers must express this belief in language and ideas that correspond with today's understanding of the beginnings of the universe, emergence of life, and development of human culture.
