Unseen Forces, A Search for the Sacred in a Darkened World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994836705)

A classic memoir of one person's search for the sacred told through the lived moments that reshaped his faith, challenged religious certainty, and formed a spirituality resilient enough to face a fractured age. In Unseen Forces: A Search for the Sacred in a Darkened World, Roy Whitten shares the story of how his understanding of spirituality was formed-not in abstractions, but in the vivid, often surprising events of a lived life. As certainty rises and falls, as institutions inspire and disappoint, and as the boundaries between religion and politics blur, Whitten keeps returning to the same stubborn impulse: the sense that meaning is real, conscience matters, and the sacred can still be encountered. With candor (and without preaching), Whitten traces the tension many readers feel but struggle to name: how to remain spiritually awake while refusing easy certainties-especially the kind that recruit the life of the spirit for partisan ends.
