About This Book

I've had a sense since I was young that there's more going on here, that the world is not a cold, dead place, that it's alive in some compelling and mysterious way. This book is about that sense. I've tried to listen to it, and follow it, and trust it. It's been devastating at times, intoxicating at others, heartbreaking and maddening and euphoric——how do you make sense of this experience we're having here on this ball of rock hurtling through space at 67,000 miles an hour? There are big questions: Everything is made of particles and atoms, and the universe has been expanding for thirteen billion years? And then there are those other questions, about the people and places and events that have shaped us. HOWEVER MASSIVE AND COSMIC IT ALL IS, IT'S ALSO REALLY, REALLY PERSONAL. AND SPIRITUAL. THAT'S THE WORD FOR IT. That's the sense I've been following for a while now——this awareness that there's something bigger happening in the depth and complexity and struggle of life, something that connects us all, reminding us that it all matters and it's all headed somewhere. Part memoir, part confession, part extended riff on the endlessly evolving nature of reality, Everything Is Spiritual is an invitation to see what you've been a part of this whole time.

"It's an odd combination, but (as the title suggests) it's all connected, and it all speaks to living as a human being on this vexing, beautiful planet ..."

"Bell looks at the world, at the universe, with both childlike wonder and insatiable curiosity."

June Sawyers· Booklist Read review ↗ Near the Top

"his reflections on his time as a pastor are both grounded and imaginative, and make more sense than some of his meanderings into such areas as particle physics."

Publishers Weekly Read review ↗ Near the Top

"A sincere but not particularly compelling effort."
