The book describes the author's personal journey of exploration into the mystery of God and of human life. It is written in the belief that what is most personal is also most universal, for it is the One God in whom we all live and move and have our being. It is also written in the hope that it will encourage readers to reflect on their own lingering memories, for those memories are God's way of knocking at our door and asking to come in to share in every aspects of our lives. The author's memories provide a fascinating and absorbing account of one man's view of the Catholic Church's development in the twentieth century: from believe that there is no salvation outside the world for God is in, as well as beyond; all things.
