This book speaks to thoughtful, informed people who want to be real in the twenty-first century. Rather than try to reconcile science and religion, the author tracks a path between the two, latching onto the positive dimensions of each while avoiding the shortcomings of both. The book offers grounding, integrity, balance, and liberation to those who feel disconnected for having given up what they used to believe and now believe nothing or just about anything; those who feel unanchored, knowing that what they were taught as children doesn't hold water any more; those who are afraid to face the real world we know today, because they don't understand it and have always needed to be right about everything; those whose feel intellectually shaky, fragile or fractured, because their worldviews, based on sentimental religion or secular science, are full of holes; those who know that to abide intellectual contradiction is unhealthy, yet continue to live one day a week believing in the "enchanted forest" world of their religion and live the other six days as if the natural, cause-and-effect world is real; those who are nervous about closed-minded science and yet can't swallow traditional, supernatural religion; those who gave up sentimental religion for all its silly, superstitious beliefs but have found nothing to replace the warmth and deep sense of belonging it once gave them; and those who are as fanatical about their secularism, or scientism, as the worst of religious zealots. From the start, Robinson provides you with helpful information. At the same time, he sets you free to pursue your own take on things and decide who you are going to be in the midst of the spiritual human family and the mind-blowing cosmos.

In November 2000, Time Warner published the paperback version of Duke Robinson's award-winning hardcover book GOOD INTENTIONS, under the title TOO NICE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD: How to Stop Making 9 Self-Sabotaging Mistakes. It appeared in twelve languages and as an early Kindle book. It continues to sell briskly through Amazon.com, B&N.com and bookstores everywhere. His second non-fiction book, CREATE YOUR BEST LIFE: How to Live Fully Knowing One Day You Will Die, appeared in December 2011, published through CreateSpace. In September 2012, he published this, his first novel, also through CreateSpace. Robinson was reared in the Philadelphia area, graduating in 1950 from Haverford High School. He holds a BA degree in philosophy (1954) from the Wheaton College, near Chicago, and a Masters of Divinity (1958), from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He has lived since 1960, in the East Bay of Northern California. For 28 years before retiring to writing, he led the dynamic, progressive Montclair Presbyterian Church in Oakland. For several years during that ministry he served as an adjunct professor at San Francisco Theological Seminary, from which he holds an earned doctorate (1979). Prior to retiring from the pastorate in 1996, he also was known widely as a speaker and appeared frequently on Northern California television. Since 2000, he has lived in Rossmoor, an active adult community in Walnut Creek, CA, thirty miles east of San Francisco. Barbara, his beloved wife of 54 years died in 2008 (He writes of her dying and his almost dying in 2009, in his book CREATE OUR BEST LIFE). He has four mature children, nine wonderful grandchildren and two super-great, great grandsons who happen to be geniuses. In April 2014, he published this book, his third nonfiction work.
