"The clarity, grace, good-humor, and profound wisdom of this book is matchless. There are echoes of many great thinkers and theologians in their words, and at the same time, the way they share their thoughts and feelings is conversational and accesible, and unfailingly courageous, candid, and honest. Together and separately, they address some of the most pressing pscyo-spiritual issues in our universally human and uniquely American lives with a combination of vigor and kindness that leaves me feeling stirred, stretched, and deeply cared about." These words of Jeremy Taylor, noted Jungian scholar and dream analyst captures this collection of reflections on the journey of the spirit. The book is a collection of sermons delivered at the United Church of Gainesville, Florida, a congregation that is innovative, open and willing to try about anything.

These sermons reflect the informal motto of the chrch, cross-stitched and framed in the church foyer, "It's not like this every Sunday." And that's true of every Sunday.

David Hackett, chair of the University of Florida department of religion says of this book, "Where there is no vision,' Proverbs tells us (29:18), 'the people perish.' For many years now Larry Reimer and Sandy Reimer have offered that prophetic vision to the people of Gainesville, Florida's United Church, and the congregation has thrived. The Reimers' words provide insights for all of us on our deepening journey home."

Larry Reimer and Sandy Reimer are co-pastors of the United Church of Gainesville, an inclusive and progressive church in the university community of Gainesville, Florida. Their interests and studies have included Celtic spirituality, dream work, creative writing, wholistic prayer, dance and music. Their training has ranged from Yale Divinity School, to Pacific School of Religion, to Iona in Scotland, and the Taize' community in France. Larry has published two books. Together they have co-authored The Retreat Handbook. This, their newest work, The Long Winding Journey Home is an opportunity to enter a dynamic journey toward the spiritual home we all remember yet still seek.
