About this book

Do you ever feel your life is like a three-ring circus? A Conspiracy to Create Joy is about the ways real circus people integrate spirituality into their migrant life of providing amazing performances for others. Circus spirituality is an incarnational spirituality. It knows the divine revealed in the ordinary and embraces everyday reality as a vital connection to the sacred.
