Under the Starry Night

By Dennis J Cssr Billy

The complexity of our world and our lives is often overwhelming. In our relationships, in our values, even in our faith, the path before us is often unclear. Wayfarers that we are, we long for some experienced traveler to happen along, someone who senses our disillusionment and deep spiritual hunger. We look for a companion who will point out a star to guide us, someone who can rekindle the embers of awe in our hearts.

Dennis Bill is such a companion. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's vision of transcendence in his painting The Starry Night, and by the medieval pilgrims' journey to Canterbury, he invites us to set out with him "on a long journey from the surface of life to the inner yearnings of the heart." Guiding us out of the dark valley of hopelessness, he traverses with us across the desert places of our souls in search of truth and innocence. And he struggles with us to rise above the forces of self-deception. His voice encourages us to open our hearts to others in friendship, prayer, and community as we trod the path of constant conversion and growth.

Along the road Billy introduces us to a wide variety of fellow travelers whose stories and poetry offer inspiration and humor. His provocative "travel questions" at the end of each chapter help us ponder the mystery of our journey. Despite the darkness of our uncertain world, Dennis Billy charts a sure course toward hope.
