Overview
In LIFECRAFT, Forrest Church challenges much of the modern search for meaning--indeed, the entire thrust of modern theology. LIFECRAFT reminds us that if we look at our lives as a whole (a spiritual goal many of us after never questioned), "when things go wrong, the entire screen turns dark." Instead, the author says, imagine yourself as "a consortium of personae," rather than as a fixed identity--because otherwise, Church says, we will inevitably think either too much or too little of ourselves.Editorials
Library Journal
In his ninth book, Church, senior minister at All Soul's Church in New York City and a popular Unitarian Universalist writer, has written a group of meditations on our most challenging question: finding meaning in life. He confronts vanity, illness, death, and the mysteries of prayer from the liberal religious perspective, and his final advice is simply to keep trying: "Turn the page." His book should find wide readership--and not just among Unitarian Universalists. For most collections. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\Book Details
