What if Jesus showed up at your house one night, tapped you on the
shoulder, and told you to wake up? Then you find out that he
doesn't only want you to wake up from your bed but wake up to your
life. Each chapter begins with an encounter with Jesus followed by
simple steps to living life awake. In a style similar to
"Conversations with God" and the works of Anthony De Mello, David
Jones, the author of "The Psychology of Jesus," offers helpful ways
to find enlightenment in every day activities.
"The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called
'yourself.'"
One of the most important and influential books of the past
half-century, Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance is a powerful, moving, and penetrating examination of
how we live and a meditation on how to live better. The narrative
of a father on a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest
with his young son, it becomes a profound personal and
philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental questions. A true
modern classic, it remains at once touching and transcendent,
resonant with the myriad confusions of existence and the small,
essential triumphs that propel us forward.
