Finding God in the Margins — A Spiritual Reflection on “Color Me Human”

Self Published Hub Blog Banner Template

In Color Me Human, The Hermit leads readers not into a cathedral, but into the wilderness—into the margins where true faith is often found. This is not a book about religion. It is a spiritual excavation. One that digs deep beneath doctrines and dogmas to uncover the raw, aching beauty of divine presence in unexpected places.

The Hermit doesn’t preach. He confesses, reflects, and challenges. He asks where God resides when the church doors are closed to the outcast. He dares to find God not in stained glass, but in shattered souls. And through poetic meditations that blend lament with longing, he shows us that sometimes, we find God most clearly in the margins of our own brokenness.

This book is a spiritual journey—one laced with struggle, searching, and stunning revelation.

The Hermit’s words flow with both reverence and rebellion. He reveres the sacred, but refuses to worship the structures that distort it. He exposes the religious hypocrisy that justifies oppression, especially when the Church aligns with empire rather than empathy. Yet even in his anger, there is a holy yearning—for truth, for justice, for the face of a God who weeps with the wounded.

Through metaphor and memory, The Hermit paints a picture of a God who is not distant or disinterested, but present in pain. A God who does not demand perfection, but presence. A God who walks with the marginalized, not above them.

“Color Me Human” offers a reimagining of faith—not as institutional loyalty, but as relational authenticity. Here, faith is forged in doubt, deepened by suffering, and liberated from convention. The Hermit invites readers to encounter the Divine not in answers, but in the space where questions linger.

One of the most powerful aspects of the book is its ability to embrace paradox. The Hermit holds lament and love in the same breath. He wrestles with the silence of God, yet never stops seeking that sacred voice. He is both prophet and pilgrim, exposing spiritual rot while still searching for redemption.

And in that search, he finds something real.

God, in Color Me Human, is not a theological concept but a living presence. A whisper in the void. A flicker in the darkness. A comfort in the cry. It is a profoundly incarnational vision—one in which the divine is found not above us, but among us. In the overlooked. In the oppressed. In the honest.

This book speaks to those disillusioned by religion but still hungry for God. To those who’ve been told they don’t belong in spiritual spaces. To those whose faith has been fractured by experience. The Hermit doesn’t offer easy fixes. But he offers a companion in the wilderness.

And perhaps that’s the holiest gift of all.

In Color Me Human, we are reminded that God is not confined to pulpits or pages. God is with the broken, the bruised, and the brave. And when we dare to meet the Divine in the margins, we begin to discover the sacred in ourselves—and in one another.
