In Search of God

About the Book

IN SEARCH OF GOD is a powerful book brimming with wisdom and food-for-thought concerning our images and notions of a deity. It is organized in terms of these compelling motifs: issues of faith and doubt, our concepts of God in the universe, our views of God as manifested in the relationships among people, and our beliefs about the presence of God within ourselves. This book inspires the reader to take his or her own faith more seriously, and to travel farther spiritually in order to refl ect on what it means to believe in God. Here are a few sample excerpts: “As we kneel in awe at the mystery of God, we stand in awe at the mystery of the self.” “There is a library in your mind that stores all kinds of information about God — including epiphanies.” “God is many things.....Forgiveness must be one of them.” “There is majesty and honor in doing a sincere favor; the hand of God is in that favor.” “A universal God may be our fi nal port of call — but a destination that helps us understand the entire voyage.”
