Mystery in Life: Learning from Our Spirituality Mark Charles Steffen

In our age of knowledge we can quickly become over-informed while remaining under developed-long on facts but short on understanding; loaded with data but lacking in practical, life-transforming wisdom. This book helps put meat on popular theory-bones by addressing the heart behind the curtain of outward life.
People today seek purpose and meaning, and authentic faith in something larger than themselves that gives hope. Hope leads to healthy human life, which is characterized by joy and wonder. Such healthy life rests on equilibrium between truth and spirit, mind and heart, reason and mystery. But life out of balance is like a wobbly wheel: it seems chaotic and random.
This this book facilitates an awakening to the spiritual aspects of everyday life, and in so doing makes us better able to handle what life throws at us each day. Although we will never fully understand or completely enjoy all the holy mysteries available to us, we can learn to do so more and more, because like life, we are dynamic; we are ever growing, changing and evolving. Readers are led to discover how they can enhance their ability to appreciate and benefit from the mysteries of life. Our world is desperate for hope and joy, which comes from exploring our spirituality. Such hope and joy is available to all!
