We must clearly distinguish between reality (the territory), and whatwe perceive to be reality (the map of the territory)! In our journeythrough life, we need something to guide us, to give us reassurancethat we are on the right track. Modern science has done its best to takethat reassurance away from us, telling us that there is no destination, no purpose, in life, and that in effect our lives are an accident of'Nature'. Religion, too, has become equally unhelpful: it has becomedogmatic, sectarian, and self-serving. We have lost the core, the realmessage, of religion, but we still need true...

All journeys are journeys of encounter with the Lord who walks with us in the cool of the evening. Sometimes they are deadly silent; other times they are full of travail. But all times, no matter what the occasion or circumstance, they are journeys with rather than against; journeys to rather than from; journeys indwelling rather than dissipating. Any journey demands both a challenge and a risk; an act of faith in what is to come because of the assurance of what is past. Yet, the challenge and risk always leads to a homecoming. And the journey home is always shorter and full of special...

In "Abba's Way, " Jesus returns to set the world's religions straight.

Abba is the shockingly-familiar Aramaic name for God that Jesus uses in the Lord's Prayer. Jesus argues that this very Abba is within each of us, ready to change our lives for the better. If we only have eyes to see.

In 70 brief poetic essays, Jesus explains how we can move the world from its present violent precipice to a global society built around negotiation, individual achievement and openness to the presence of Abba in each person.

It has been said that if you want to know what God is like, then look at the creation. This intriguing thesis will be examined. The numerous discoveries of science are like a picture puzzle scattered far and wide. Yet, if the physical, social, and philosophical sciences are considered in overview, the puzzle pieces are seen to interlock with wonderful clarity.

This structuring of reality is so pervasive at every level, that it boggles the imagination. This book explains in...
