When Soul Appears

After a painful confrontation with a Senior Pastor his associate the Rev. Al McGee dealt with it by exclaiming the unsayable: I don't believe! And thus began a wrestling match with the Divine. Al was struggling with God. Arguing with God. Contending with God. And found that instead of a lightning strike he was given the grace of deeper understanding. Like the Old Testament character Jacob who wrestled all night with God to wake up with a new identity Al too entered a realm of greater possibilities. <br /><br />By having it out with God he realized God more deeply. He experienced a felt shift into a surprising inner cohesion of body mind and soul. For Al the protest - the raised fist against heaven - was the catalyst for what he calls the appearance of soul. <br /><br />Marked by depth variety and a wealth of voices When Soul Appears will challenge readers to look at their beliefs and to ponder whether these are inspiring or restricting.
