While helping her readers discover God within their own human experience, Barbara Fiand challenges them to deepen their faith in the incarnation. She calls for an active, practical faith that can heal such splits as those between sacred and secular, science and mysticism.

When competitiveness, conflict, consumerism and the need to control determine social relationship, we cannot accept unconditional love; it becomes impossible to experience the creativity that comes from surrendering to the mysterious breath of God within. Fiand shows how failure to accepts self is rejection of Jesus, while self-acceptance is redemption experienced. Wholeness is brokenness owned and thereby healed.
