BOOK RECOMMENDATION –
Sept. 2025 – We are experiencing an epidemic of epic proportions, as the stress of life seems to ever increase. Alcoholics Anonymous, and the dozens of other programs that address other problems using the twelve-step model, has succeeded in helping millions of people to find worthwhile, sober, and satisfying lives. Regrettably, even more people fail to succeed in the programs, or even fail to try the programs, often because of the requirement of reliance on a higher power. Doctor Gordon has addressed this problem with this book in which he presents the reader with a variety of ways of thinking about a higher power. Some of these ideas are ways of thinking about or relating to God, and others are non-theistic. He has written essays on such varied topics as love, spirituality, compassion, Native-American spirituality, and Buddhism, and writes about such great thought leaders as Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and Albert Einstein. Drawing from the wisdom of many traditions, he gives the reader enough to think about that this book is likely to provide useful guidance for many if not most of his readers.
