This is not an easy read, but for someone like me who has been moving away from the institutional church and searching for connection to Reality, it was very helpful in nudging the mind shift I needed. Teilhard de Chardin's thinking is included and explained. Evolution is a big part of the discussion and science, love, and God as an open system where change happens is a mix that fits with where I've been going with religion for years. That has sometimes been a scary, painful transition and it's good to read why it's been happening to me. I did not understand everything I read, but Delio did get a lot across to me. There are a lot of references in the notes she gave for me to look into.
