From the Publisher:

Stories that Share God's Grace
We bump into God's grace in our lives every day, in all kinds of humorous, hilarious, mysterious, random, and sometimes completely unlikely ways. This charming collection of 35 stories reveals one person's myriad encounters with God in both the mundane and extraordinary moments that make up our days. A natural storyteller, Dom Grassi shares his warm memories of life in the city of Chicago over the past five decades. He shows how God is reflected through the people we meet in the everyday--a butcher, a bookstore owner, a short-order cook. With rich and often funny descriptions of human struggles and triumphs, mistakes and forgiveness, youthful pranks and maturity, Dom Grassi helps us see not only moments of grace in his life but also times when we too have unexpectedly bumped into God.
