This book is more than just words on a page; it's an immersive journey through the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit.

We're not here to throw shade or to spotlight the foibles of faith; instead, we're talking about the rich gifts that diversity brings us, especially when we shut up and listen. Our guidebook for this journey is none other than the recent release Sitting in the Shade of Another Tree: What We Learn by Listening to Other Faiths. This isn't just your run-of-the-mill, kumbaya plea for peace. This is about tuning in to a symphony of voices from different faiths and belief systems that dare to speak to the transformative power of listening. It's about cracking open the door to perspectives that have long been shut out by the rigid gates of doctrinal fortresses. We're joined by a panel of guests who are nothi
