Rarely have I been as impressed by a non fiction book as I have with the newest offering from the Franciscan Nun, Sister Iliad Delieo. Here newest book, the latest of many, aptly titled, The Not Yet God is a soon to be classic in both thought, composure, intention and theological weight.
This is the book this generation, let me change that to all generations have been praying and hoping for. For a starving and vapid species "The Not Yet God' is an answer to prayer, a declaration of faith to the faithless, a grasp of hope for the hopeless and a glimmer of transience for those with eyes to see.
I think you will thank me for introducing you to this remarkable woman who speaks with the voices of angels.
The Not Yet God: Carl Jung, Telihard De Chardin, Relational Wholeness.
Special thanks to Fr Leo Gluelert. O Carm.
I would like to add a comment by a Facebook Friend Stephen Kasloff to my post about Sister Delio's book. Steven hits the nail of importance right on the head

Respectfully, Jim - and I just read the Amazon summary - I suggest that the view the author expresses has its roots in the Hebrew Bible and in Judaism. The emergence of quantum physics as a “popular” field of study reinforces what the sages knew. The physicist Bohm spoke of an explicate order - that which we can perceive with our five senses - and an implicate order - that which lies hidden behind it, beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered.
If we had not developed instruments to tell us, we would not know that infrared or ultraviolet light exist because we can’t see them with the naked eye. Yet we do know they exist because we’ve evolved to create instruments that show us their existence. How much more of the universe- or multiverse - exists that we haven’t yet been able to see? It is said in the Torah that at Mt. Sinai, the people “saw” the thunder. How is that possible? There are a number of explanations, some physical, some metaphoric. Yet a few years ago scientists created instruments that now enable them to “see” on a computer the sound of thunder. It was reported in USA Today.
The wonder of the universe or multiverse is only at the threshold of discovery. But the essential sense of (1) the universe as a force/result of creation and (2) the notion that human beings are relational creatures at their best and that all the energy of the universe(s) exists in all things is at the heart of the Jewish sense of existence and of the Supreme Being. One more thing: the Hebrew word for “world” - “Olam” - also means “hidden.” So the world is partly perceived and partly hidden. We are here to discover that which is hidden and use it to bring the world from what is to what can and should be - that’s the Why. Will look forward to your essay.
