Yippee. I did it. I finished my book. And now I was ready to press the “send” button and dispatch my manuscript off to publisher Patheos Press. Photo by Jon Newhall<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Barbara Falconer Newhall<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s 6:02 Wednesday evening I just\u00a0 hit the send button to send the manuscript for Wrestling With God<\/em> off to my publisher, Patheos Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To tell you the truth, I’m very proud of this book. I think you’ll like it. It’s\u00a0 all about finding a way to believe in God — or Something — in this multifaith, multicultural, seculariazed, globalized, super-rational, twenty-first-century world of ours.<\/p>\n

I’d write more about the finishing up and the sending off of this opus right now — if I weren’t just a touch pickled from the celebratory champagne.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, all I can think of to say is, “Yippee. I did it! I finished my book.”<\/p>\n

More later. Meanwhile, I’m happy. Love and thanks to all who have supported this ambitious project.<\/p>\n

You can read stories about\u00a0 “My Rocky Spiritual Journey”<\/a> by clicking on the button at the top of this page. Some of my favorites are “An Episcopalian Says Kaddish for Her Jewish Aunt”<\/a> and “Impermanence: Everything Changes and So Can I.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
