"As a youngster," writes David Adam, "I always wanted to know more. I liked to climb the next hill and look around the next corner. My mother said I wanted to see the 'back of beyond'.

Both visionary and engagingly down-to-earth, Living in Two Kingdoms helps us recognize that the visible world of matter and the invisible world of spirit are not two worlds but one.

Because here and now – whatever it may feel like, we are truly part of the kingdom of God!
