Book now available in English as well as Spanish
Oakdale, Conn.-- Retired State of Connecticut social worker,
Jesús A. Diez Canseco, a deacon at the Catholic Diocese of Norwich, shares his
thoughts on God, democracy, social justice, sexuality, art,
education, abortion and several other topics, in his recently revised
book, “SEARCHING FOR GOD IN US AND IN
THE WORLD: THOUGHTS ON THE FORCES THAT SHAPE OUR LIFE,” which is
also available in Spanish.
Diez Canseco said, "It is our vocation to search for
God. There are many attributes that make us truly human. And the most valuable
of them is our power to create, in as much as we, ourselves, are creations of
God the Creator. Every thought presented in this book has been written keeping
in mind the value of human life, the goodness of our human nature, and our
universal desire for a happy and rewarding life. Emphasis has been placed on
positive thinking so that each thought presented may contribute to the
enrichment of our life and the enhancement of our relationships with our fellow
humans and with God."

Other excerpts include:
THE LANGUAGE OF GOD
If you are fluent in the language of peace, you will have no
problem communicating with God.
HOW TO BEGIN
Any person who wants to fully know his human nature must
begin by loving his neighbor.
MONEY AND GREED
Without greed, money is just a means to facilitate economic
transactions; but when greed makes its way into money, it makes those who have
money believe they can buy those who are short on greed.
MEMBER OF A COMMUNITY
Since the moment of his conception, the child is an active
member of a community—the community he establishes with his mother.
