Many would acknowledge that we are currently living in a time of deep unease, uncertainty and strife. It can feel quite discouraging as people clash with one another, there are wars, elections, court cases, environmental issues and more to unsettle us. Some may call the overall resultant feeling doom.
The author of this entry in the Essentials series defines doom as the “un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling” that “we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves.” In this book, the author looks at this complex topic from a vareiety of perspectives. He offers a guide and reflection in these pages to what he calls “wisdom and courage for a world falling apart.”
Chapter title include Letting Go, Letting Be, Letting Come and Setting Free. There is much to think about and readers may see the world and their actions in it differently upon finishing. Look at the questions that the author provides for the reader to think about in each section.
This book does not offer an easy read. It does, however, provide an important one.
Note that the author is a pastor so writes from this perspective.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.
