God is not a man or a woman. God is not a Christian or Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist. God is Love, pure unconditional Love; a Love that knows each of us by name; a Love that sends us into life, and walks alongside us holding our hand. God whispers to us in the flowers, in the song of a morning bird, in a kiss between lovers, in the smile of a friend. We experience God's presence in the people we love, the friends we work with, in the ordinary water that flows through the fabric of our life - we just have to be listening. Lex Ferrauiola is a husband, a father, a healthcare executive, and an ordained Catholic deacon. Just to Follow My Friend is a work of love and faith. It is a collection of homilies and reflections that speak to the experience of God's presence in everyday life.
