Loneliness and Revelation: A Study of the Sacred
More than just another vitally important book, Myers' analysis confronts our very raison d'etre against our uncertain times. He asks the questions that most prefer not to ask. (Michael York, Theologian, former director of the Sophia Centre at Bath Spa University, and author of Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion) Loneliness, like old age and death, is a taboo subject in our neophilic culture that worships youth and surface at the expense of depth and experience. Brendan Myers, in this thoughtful and eloquent book, travels to the heart of the existential issues that underpin the experience of loneliness. In doing this, he reveals the potential that loneliness holds for each of us to realize our full humanity. Instead of being an experience to avoid at all costs, this book shows how it can act as a gateway that can help us deepen our sense of being alive. (Philip Carr-Gomm, Author of Sacred Places and A Brief History of Nakedness)
