In the Absence of God: Dwelling in the Presence of the Sacred

In the Absence of God: Dwelling in the Presence of the Sacred

In his new book, bestselling author Sam Keen challenges the notions and habits weâ€™ve formed about religion over the centuries in order for us to build a deeper faith, that is relevantÂ today.
Â
He asks:

* How has religion failed us?.
* Must we choose between dogmatic religion and atheism?
* How might religion unite rather than divide us?
Â
The answers, Keen discovers, point the way back to the primal emotions, to the life-giving sense of dwelling in the presence of the sacred..
Â
In the Absence of God sets out to recover the elemental experience of the sacred in everyday life. By appreciating emotions like wonder, gratitude, anxiety, joy, grief, reverence, compassion, outrage, hope and humility we may once again find ourselves in the presence of an unknowable but all present G-D. We may also regain the commonalities between Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other spirit traditions and end the contentious differences that have divided them and our world.
