Seeing With Your Ears: Spirituality
For Those Who Can't Believe
Art Lester
Can't believe?
For the millions of us who can't believe the conflicting
and confusing claims of the mainstream churches, there
seems to be a stark choice: either sacrifice your hard-won
common sense or remain in permanent exile from religious
life.
Seeing With Your Ears offers
hope to those who find themselves stuck in this modern
dilemma. Drawing upon the wisdom of many cultures, its
powerful series of reflections cuts through the smokescreen
of tradition to show how faith can be regained without
putting the logical mind in cold storage. Using the
insights of teachers, philosophers, and psychologists
from all ages, its gritty and entertaining essays on
sex, death, and purposeful living invite readers to
use their own experiences to find the way to a personal
spirituality. It speaks directly to those among us who
would like to believe in something beyond the pedestrian
realities of life, but who, up to now, thought it was
impossible. News & Reviewers’
