Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2: What the Coronavirus Pandemic Tells Us About Heroes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664265080)

In Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2: What the Coronavirus Pandemic Tells Us about Heroes, author Charles Brookins Taylor Sr. delves into the far-reaching impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having throughout America, and worldwide, and how it affects every aspect of life. Through the combination of observing and dialoguing with heroes from a broad sector of society, he shows how the pandemic highlights these heroes like never before.

Taylor draws upon Abraham Maslow's famous Hierarchy of Needs-physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization-as a tool for understanding the deep desire for heroes who help meet our needs and remind us we're not alone. In addition, he shows how the want for self-actualization includes a need for spiritual self-actualization, which helps us understand how the spiritual realm transcends the physical realm yet permeates and operate within it. During the coronavirus pandemic, a time when many are experiencing pain, distress, and hardship, causing them to feel hopeless, Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2 encourages us to believe God is ultimately in control and wants us to know all things, the good and bad, work together for the good of those who love him.
