God Goes on Vacation stretches our conventional notions of the divine. At the same time it is a true children's book, with a story full of charm and humor, and illustrations full of whimsy—and more humor. The book will be thoroughly enjoyed by kids of all ages, as well as by anyone whose understanding of God is open to ongoing change and growth. Desperate for a vacation from all the problems and needs of humanity, God decides to take a break. He flies along with his angel Stardrop to earth, where they spend the next seven days at the beach. What fun! while there, God demonstrates and embraces the divine diversity of being, totally involved in humanity and creation—and enjoying and loving all of it. God Goes on Vacation is entertaining and profound, humorous and wise, spiritual and irreverent. It is meant for the openhearted and for those who long to be. †
