For the Orphaned Children of God

What is this? Words for when heart, intellect, and faith are not quite in sync....or in abject conflict. The religion - relationship - political affiliation - church - family - belief system -- career --leader - society - and all those other foundations of life didn't quite fulfill your hopes and dreams after all. Who are the "orphaned children of God"? Anyone who with time, growth, and learning has found their heart at odds with once trusted foundations - societal, religious, family, political, or otherwise. This volume may rattle your cage, but with enough rattling a cage can open and set people free. It may be upsetting and challenging, maybe thought-provoking and uplifting, but hopefully encouraging and reassuring for your very personal journey. This compendium of essays about daily life, society, beliefs, faith, meaning, and purpose.....in other words "life" (with a little pseudo-poetry occasionally sprinkled in) reminds of what really matters. Yes, something does still matter, even when it seems all that mattered is lost. After reading you may not know much more about individual topics, but perhaps in your response to these unorthodox perspectives you will know a little more yourself. The reader of this book will be an exquisitely rare individual, not satisfied with blindly accepting institutional edicts, a soul open and eager for alternative perspectives. You will be different....which is why you have the potential to make a difference.
