"A wide-eyed and wonderful spiritual resource for young adults." -Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice

This elegant volume offers itself as a spiritual companion for young adults and all who live amid transitions and tensions. Dozens of carefully selected readings address themes that are prominent for people in their twenties and early thirties. The topics include: passion and purpose, identity, community, losing and finding, and justice and creation. Each section features reflections from Unitarian Universalist young adults, as well as poems, prayers, and opening and closing words from contemporary and ancient peoples. This treasury of uplifting and thought-provoking meditations can serve as a guide and provide comfort on our never-ending journey of becoming.

Reviews

"Becoming is a gift to anyone in transition. It's a cairn marking the trail, a warm meal with friends, a talk with a long-time mentor, a spontaneous dance party, and a hundred one-sentence biographies." -Matt Meyer, worship leader and author of Desmond Gets Free
