JOHN JANELLE BACKMAN

An invitation to go deep. 

 
This website is about living deeply—ever more deeply—into the One I call God. It is Christian and Zen, monastic and mystical, all filtered through the depths of my own heart. In these pages you’ll find writings on spiritual topics like contemplation, dialogue across divides, and spiritual direction. You can even use the photos for meditation. So welcome. May something in here spark something deeper in you—and bring you closer to the Ground of All Being. 

To buy the book: Why Can't We Talk? Christian Wisdom on Dialogue as a Habit of the Heart, published by SkyLight Paths Publishing.
