"Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } When a health
scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner-an agnostic by
default-finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed
to him by a well-meaning nurse. ""Have you found your God yet?""The
thought of it nags him, and prods him-and ultimately launches him
on a far-flung journey to do just that.
Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler,
realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious
practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his
own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by
the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young
daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a
worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can,
to a personal understanding of the divine.
The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart.
Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the
god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he
meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to
Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi
dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his
"chi; "to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, "sans" Madonna; and to
Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers
of the world's largest UFO-based religion).
At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing
spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we
die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks
go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned.
At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith,
and when spiritual questions loom large in the modern age, MAN
SEEKS GOD presents a perspective on religion that is sure to
delight, inspire, and entertain.
