I tried to stay up to watch the order button for kindle go live at midnight last night, until I realized that Amazon is located in\u00a0Seattle<\/em> and might be timing its midnight accordingly.<\/p>\n

But, lo, today is finally launch day, and the book is available to order<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0A few copies shipped early, so, once yours arrives, you have these photos from readers to top:<\/p>\n

$\"action$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited for the book to wind up in your hands<\/a> because writing this book has been an opportunity for me to share so many moments of beauty and wonder, in order to gesture at what Catholic spirituality is all about.<\/p>\n

I get to talk to you about the Ship of Theseus, and constant, confusing renewal in order to explain the Eucharist.<\/p>\n

I get to discuss some of the vocabulary and grammar I learned in ASL in order to discuss how I approach\u00a0lectio divina<\/em>, where I try to plunge myself into God\u2019s words.<\/p>\n

And I get to talk about the dangers of congenital analgesia to make sense of why the sting of shame that opens the door to repentance can be a welcome gift.<\/p>\n

Richard Feynman once said that \u201cEverything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough\u201d and that\u2019s certainly been my experience in learning Catholic prayer.<\/p>\n

Every time I started learning a new way to reach out to God, I kept finding little ties back to ideas and images that I had already loved, that I could use as a spur to my love and my delight.<\/p>\n

I hope you pick up my book<\/a> and find that it makes Catholicism make a little more sense, but, even more, that it limns some part of your world with joy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
