Description

Pain. Suffering. Intolerance. War. For many, life on Earth has been defined by such grim phenomena—and in America and around the world, things seem only to be getting worse.

For over twenty years, author D. Scott Sonnenburg puzzled over the bleak state of the world. Suffering from chronic pain and depression, he struggled to see the justifications for humanity, the reasons for our existence—and, more specifically, his own. It was only when he was suddenly and unexpectedly confronted by Love—by whatever it is we call God—that he discovered the secret to personal, spiritual, and societal healing.

In A Gentler Path, Sonnenburg leads the reader through those dark and difficult years toward his recovery and the light at the end of the tunnel. Part autobiography, part philosophical treatise, A Gentler Path examines the many ways we can reframe and come to terms with the challenges of modern life and is a warming tonic for the hopeful and the hopeless alike.

Pain. Suffering. Intolerance. War. For many, life on Earth has been defined by such grim phenomena—and in America and around the world, things seem only to be getting worse.

For any reader who feels like the walls are closing in on humanity, that hope is getting hard to find in our society and in our leaders, this book will take you through a winding and emotional path of healing. The author has given great thought in bringing this material to the page, and considering we're dealing with some heavy, heartbreaking stuff here -- as hope is not an easy thing to rev up once it gets to a low level -- we get some traction, slowly and reliably, here. The author has done a nice job of imbuing the message of 'you are not alone' with some realism and a fresh dose of optimism. A very worthy read right now.
