An astonishing synthesis of humankind's understanding of the Great Spirit that energizes and runs through all Creation.

Poets knew it. Mystics knew it. Indigenous people knew it. Now Diarmuid O'Murchu unearths what religion has often forgotten or ignored — the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the breath of all things.

Advance praise:
"An expansive and imaginative vision of a spirit-filled world!"—Amos Yong, author of The Spirit Poured Out on All Flesh

His new work will inspire and sustain the spiritual journey of people in all walks of life and in all parts of the globe."—Peter Phan, author, Being Religious Interreligiously
