Reviews

"The Uncovered Path:Spiritual Reflections for Finding Your Purposeis full of accessible wisdom and inspiring stories not only for Christians but for people of all faith traditions, or no faith tradition. I encourage you to 'walk'with The Rev. Dr. Charles 'Chaz' Lattimore Howard as this book and its author will be a cherished friend to help you find your path in life and towalk it well. I first met Chaz through our shared work at The University of Pennsylvania where he has served as Vice President and University Chaplain. Through this book, you are given an opportunity to 'sit down with the chaplain and talk about life'as countless numbers of students and faculty have done over his more than two decades of ministry."
