Get Lost. . . and Find What Really Matters We are made for freedom and adventure, friendship and romance. Yet too much of life is spent unfulfilled at work, restless at home, and bored at church. All the while knowing there is something more. You’ll find some of life’s best moments waiting for you over a campfire, on a river—even in that coffee shop or brewery you didn’t know you’d discover along the way. It’s time to begin the search. In the literary spirit of well-worn tales about America’s open road, this poetic, honest, often hilarious collection of essays shows how to embark on adventures that kindle spiritual reflection, personal growth, and deeper family connections. From surfing California’s coastlines, stargazing southwestern deserts, and fly-fishing in remote mountains of Montana, you’ll be inspired to follow the author’s footsteps and use the hand-drawn maps from each chapter to plan your own trips. There you will hear God’s voice – and it may help you find what you’re searching for. “We search mountaintops and valleys, deserts and oceans, hoping sunrises and long views through the canyons will help us discover who we are, or who we still want to be. The language of our hearts reflects that of creation because in both are fingerprints of God.” —Roger W. Thompson
"'Science Mike' draws on his personal experience to tell the unlikely story of how science led him back to faith. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray, how fundamentalism affects the psyche, and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us"--Dust jacket flap.
THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT...Nonfiction, investigative books typically study a subject from a singular disciplinary approach (such as theological or historical). Alternatively, this writing employs multiple approaches, combining them into a unifying whole and presenting a clear, easy-to-understand analysis of the two most important issues of today or any age: (i) God's existence; and (ii) God's identity. Written in an engaging way for all kinds of people, regardless of background and training, this book employs a science- and evidence-based approach, using cosmology, paleontology, genetics, chemistry, theology, history, comparative religions, and sound logic. Based on the aforementioned evidence, the final two chapters examine quality of life issues leading to true fulfillment in life through a personal relationship with God.
Answering the many "spiritual" questions left unaddressed by such popular historical bestsellers as A History of God and God: A Biography, renowned author Marcus Borg reveals how to embrace an authentic contemporary faith that reconciles God with science, critical thinking and religious pluralism. How to have faith––how to even think about God––without having to stifle modern rationality is one of the most vital challenges facing contemporary religion. In providing a much–needed solution to the problem of how to have a fully authentic yet fully contemporary understanding of God, Borg––author of the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time––traces his personal journey. He leads readers from the all–powerful and authoritarian God of his (and their) childhood and traditional faith to an equally powerful but dynamic image of God that is relevant to contemporary seekers and more biblical and spiritually authentic. Borg shows how the modern crisis of faith is itself rooted in delusion––misinterpretation of biblical texts and of God's true nature––and challenges readers to a new way of thinking about God. He opens a practical discussion about how to base a relationship with the divine both immanent and transcendant, here and now, always and everywhere. Arguing that the authentic Judeo–Christian tradition is that God's being includes the whole world, Borg persuasively shows how this understanding accounts for the whole variety of human religious experience. Ultimately, he introduces readers to a way of thinking about God who is "right here" all around them, rather than distant and remote. This understanding is more intellectually and spiritually satisfying and allows readers to reclaim a stronger sense of God's presence.
A story about having faith, losing it, and finding it again through science—revealing how the latest in neuroscience, physics, and biology help us understand God, faith, and ourselves. Mike McHargue, host of The Liturgists and Ask Science Mike podcasts, understands the pain of unraveling belief. In Finding God in the Waves, Mike tells the story of how his Evangelical faith dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his identity, his friendships, and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't theology or scripture that led him back to God—it was science. Full of insights about the universe, as well as deeply personal reflections on our desire for certainty and meaning, Finding God in the Waves is a vital exploration of the possibility for knowing God in an age of reason, and a signpost for where the practice of faith is headed in a secular age. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray; how fundamentalism affects the psyche; and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but also in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us.
This book answers the question Someone once asked , "Can one truly find God without organized religion?" The author proclaims boldly a huge empahatic, YES, not based on opinion, but study of the Scriptures and the languages and culture in which they were written, as well as those they were originally written to. Lastly it reveals to those of us living in a today's world, a pathway to know God without being tied down to all of organized Religion's institutions.
How to put the teachings of Jesus into action to meet the challenges of life today. Includes effective techniques to access the creative power of the higher self.
Have the same old things in life lost their power to thrill you? Does life too often seem empty and meaningless? Do you wonder where we came from, why we are here on this earth, and where—if anywhere—we will go when we die? Perhaps you are afraid of what the future holds, as each day, new and seemingly unsolvable problems emerge to challenge mankind. Lost to Found is author Lynne Avery’s firsthand account of her personal journey from intellectual bondage to a personal knowledge of God. For decades, Lynne watched as God gave other people meaning and hope but provided none for her. Her intellect told her there was no God, life had no meaning, and evolution was the sole cause of our unintended existence. Her heart told her differently. Lynne now shares with other intellectual skeptics the path to faith and beyond that led her to an internal certainty of God’s presence. Her story is one that offers hope to all who are weary of the emptiness of life.
