Product Description
by Kenneth J. Dale (Author)
This book has grown out of a twofold concern--to follow the author's quest into the nature of the great Mystery of the universe which we call God, and to share this quest with others who are willing to search for a better approach to God than the one with which most Christian people have been indoctrinated. Kenneth J. Dale lived much of his life in a culture which was fed by two religious streams: one pantheistic (Japanese Shintoism) and the other atheistic (Buddhism). These caused the author to reflect deeply on the place of the Christians' "Heavenly Father" in such a context. Come on a journey of exploration that moves from the outer bounds of the universe to the inner recesses of the heart.
