In this remarkable spiritual autobiography about his lifelong struggle with the questions of God and death, he reveals how he ultimately came to believe in eternal life.\n\nHow does one journey past the limits of religion to find an authentic, modern belief in eternity?\n\nThe Meaning of Mortality: Walk with Spong through his own personal encounters with death, from childhood to his work as a bishop, as he deconstructs the fears that shape traditional belief. Beyond Heaven and Hell: Why the traditional, behavior-controlling concepts of reward and punishment must be abandoned to find a mature spirituality. A New Vision of God: Discover a God not as a supernatural, external being, but as the Ground of All Being—the source of life, love, and consciousness in which we all participate. The Path of the Mystics: How the mystical tradition, from the author of John’s Gospel to today, points to a universal consciousness that transcends death itself.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060778423\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0060778423.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Spong, John Shelby\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
