Book Synopsis Open Your Eyes Toward Living More Deeply in the Present by : Gail J. Stearns
Book excerpt: In order to discover inner peace and peace in our world, we will need to let go of traditional understandings of pain and suffering as God's will. We will need to stop claiming that Christianity contains elite, exclusive truths. We learn here from the Jesus of the Gospel of Mark how to open our eyes and awaken to the Presence of God here and now. Gail Stearns brings insight from biblical scholars, spiritual leaders, and her own experience as a pastor and university teacher, to move us to a place where we can dwell more deeply in the present and live in a more compassionate world.
