I had been a Lutheran pastor for twenty-nine years when I sensed an inner, inaudible voice telling me this.

Listening to that inner voice led me to a wonderful friendship with Echo Bodine, who is a psychic, and to explorations of Buddhism, Sufism, the Tao Te Ching, meditation centers, reincarnation, Aramaic, and much more.

Do you sense there is more? A deeper truth about yourself, God, and reality, that wants to be known and lived?

This book reveals my true journey, told within the framework of a fictional story. The main character, Sam, is intrigued when he hears that the message of Jesus is to know and live from the Divine that is naturally within him, in everyone, and in everything.

This leads us to deep conversations in a tavern, on a boat, at a playground, in the woods, under the stars, in a sanctuary, on a golf course, at home watching comedy and the news, and at a hospice home.

The discussions that Sam and I have about our own struggles, questions, and discoveries eventually lead us to affirm that we are here to grow into the love from which our souls emerged.

Welcome to the conversation.

You are love.

Tim
