The memoir chronicles the author's spiritual evolution, tracing his journey from an Italian immigrant background to a Jesuit priest and later a religious studies professor. It explores his struggles with church doctrines on sexuality and authority, shaped by personal experiences, including failed marriages. Embracing a blend of contemplative spirituality, he integrates Buddhist and Taoist practices with Western mysticism. Ultimately, he advocates for a metaphorical Christianity, encouraging contemporary seekers to find spirituality in nature and human connections, all while crafting a meaningful contemplative life.
