From the Author

A book for all who seek a deeper meaning in life
This book is written for We The People who do not attend church regularly and, perhaps, even have forgotten why. It also is intended for those of us who attend every week out of a sense of duty but find little meaning and worry about religion's relevance to a spiritually hungry U.S. culture. Most importantly, this book is written for ministers and religious educators who want to meet the needs of all Christians who seek deeper meaning in life and long for the religion of their childhood to make sense to them as an adult. Mainline Christianity is caught today in between embracing a deceptively simple fundamentalistic approach to religion and an intellectual approach that is far too complex. How then can mainstream Christianity avoid both a fundamentalistic and an overly intellectual approach to theology and church life? This book offers an answer.
