Blind Spots:The Memoirs of a Baby Boomer on the Rocky Road Towards Spiritual Awakening
They say God works in mysterious ways. John Domenico should know. In his 50 plus years, he's embarked on a seeker's journey that has taken him from steadfast Catholicism to born-again Christianity to a unique kind of inclusive spirituality. Blind Spots: The Memoirs of a Baby Boomer on the Rocky Road towards Spiritual Awakening collects his insightful and often humorous thoughts, reflections and critiques on all of them. The result is a deliciously candid and frank book that will appeal to anyone who's ever struggled to understand his or her faith.
From early on, it's clear Domenico marched to his own drummer. As a child, he learns to question his family's Catholic faith - and finds plenty of trouble from the nuns and priests in Catholic school. Subsequent to his experimentation in the 1960's and 70's, Domenico settles down and, after initial resistance, discovers Pentecostalism. But eventually he finds cracks in his latest belief system, and he sets out for what will be the most spiritually fulfilling quest of all.Interspersed are compelling asides on his personal life, as well as the politics, major events, personalities and trends that have shaped the last half-century.
Throughout it all, Domenico's sensitivity and keen wit masterfully transform an ordinarily timeworn subject, that under his care, is crafted into a thought-provoking, rollicking ride that might just get you questioning your own deeply held beliefs...

A moving collection of heartfelt memories with an honest grip of human nature, INSPIRING and capturing an authentic life lived with humility and humor. John Domenico's writing style is comparable to any of the great writers or our time. His witiness, sense of humor and most importantly, his ability to communicate his thoughts and experiences for the common man to understand is absolutely remarkable. Blind Spots is a book that everybody not only should read but NEEDS to read. When we discover that true spirituality comes from above and is within us and not through some Sunday morning going to church, three piece suit preacher, there for the dollar, you will discover the very personal and profound relationship you truly have with your creator. John's ability to transform this radical idea into every day living and common sense will open your eyes to the true meaning of God, His gifts to us, and the disdain for all the false prophets that have infested this earth with lies and deceit to gain power and control of humankind. With all that being said, this book is hysterical and you won't stop laughing with his anecdotal approach to the realities of this life. Once you open this book and begin to read, you literally won't be able to put it down. I strongly recommend everyone to read this book. It should be required reading for all generations looking to find the true meaning of LOVE. Don't pick up this book to start and read unless you have the time. Once started, you will not put it down! Everything everyone can relate to yet fears to speak out loud.
