God Instinct Heeding Your Heart's Unrest

Summary: In this simple, elegant, & literate book, Stella shows what can happen when we move from certitude to doubt, from stability to searching. When cherished beliefs, attitudes, & answers come into question. When life experiences seem to tell us that the "right" answers no longer seem so "right". Such a time is an enriching time, a time when life is no longer a matter of going from "question to answer, but from question t...o question". And like the many, many people Stella has encountered in his work he concludes that "life in all its messiness is a sacred affair". At this point, author Tom Stella believes we become seekers -- seekers of truth & spiritual maturity. Although focused on the fundamental themes of the spiritual life, in The God Instinct, Stella successfully bridges the spiritual & the practical, grounding his insights in the realities of daily living with the wisdom gleaned from his own journey with his readers. [read more]
