The Chronicles of the Making of a Philosopher - Book The First - The Deepening: Encountering Pope John Paul the Great in Everyday Life

Systems Management Institute Press · Apr 15, 1994

This book has been a long time in the making, and I have shed a lot of blood writing it. But how could things be otherwise? After all, it explores the seminal events that define much of my life.

The motivation driving this work is twofold. First, I wish to provide a personal Testament to the wisdom and love of John Paul the Great as revealed in the spiritual deepening and transcendent unfolding of my life. Secondly, I wish to share how the universal truth and spiritual force that infuses life into the words of John Paul the Great have been excavated, realized, and found fulfilling in the experiences and challenges of my life.
This work shares the philosophical insights and spiritual discoveries made while traveling the Via Philosophiae in search of Lady Truth wherever she lay hidden in this rapidly changing and complex world, a world fueled by the pace and pulse of a technological supernova gone wild, a world enlivened by the scientific imagination but endangered by the lack of understanding of what that imagination leads to when nurtured in the minds of undisciplined and inhuman architects of short term expediency.
