Beyond Christianity: A Spiritual Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896373117)

Why are we here? This quintessential question on existentialism is one that most human beings ask at one time or another during the course of their lives. Not only is that question asked by many, but since the times of Aristotle, countless books and articles have been written that attempt to answer that very question in one way or another.

Beyond Christianity: A Spiritual Journey is the story of one man's attempt to make sense of and adapt to a seemingly ever-changing world in which the cultural environment challenges every moral fiber of his belief system. From humble beginnings in a South American country strictly dominated by Roman Catholicism, to the culture shock of living in a free-thinking and religiously diverse American society, Beyond Christianity tells the tale of the spiritual changes and adjustments that the author made during his life in order to adapt and survive in a world that seems contrary to every moral value instilled in him during his youth.

Readers of Beyond Christianity will discover many surprising and controversial conclusions made by the author, conclusions that challenge current thinking and belief systems. In addition, the author raises many questions that, while they may not have definitive answers today, need to be asked and thought about by every individual seeking spiritual growth.

While this book is primarily directed at the Christian community, with many quotes lifted directly from the Bible, readers from all backgrounds, including atheists and nonbelievers, will enjoy reading the many stories and anecdotes shared by the author as the readers feel themselves sitting next to the author, living his many experiences through his narration, and perhaps experiencing a bonding with his struggles, emotions, and ideas as he takes them on an unprecedented spiritual journey.
