| Publisher Description: In a deeply personal, yet accessible narrative, Mr. Greenstein shows us that closeness to the Divine can be found in our everyday struggles and triumphs. The universal search for the deeper meaning of life begins for him as a young boy within the familiar ambiance of a metropolitan cityscape. We learn how he begins to define his self-concept through his developing relationships with family members and peers, much like any other growing child. Spirituality is learned through traditional channels, and when these no longer resonate with him, he walks a road many of us have searching for "something more," with both familiar and unique twists and turns. The reader is drawn in as our hero comes to understand the unknown, and achieve some peace in his day to day life, although this peace is not always the result of happy endings. He shows a living example of how beyond the surface differences, religious and mystical experiences unite all humanity regardless of creed, race or religion. |
