Searching God is one man's introspective look at the most influential books in hislife, beginning at age seventeen when he discovered Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet.In this provocative exploration of spirituality, history, creative mythology, andpsychology, George Kuser profiles eight significant writers: Kahlil Gibran, ArnoldToynbee, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Carl Kerenyi, J. J.Bachofen, and Conrad Richter. Kuser discusses how and why their writings havechanged his life and way of thinking forever.Because The Prophet impacted his life at such an early age, Kuser focuses hisattention on how Gibran's philosophies have informed his thoughts on spirituality.On history, he discusses Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History, written in themiddle of the twentieth century, and compares Toynbee's ideas about religion withtoday's concepts. For creative mythology, Kuser delves into the power of mythwith Joseph Campbell, who examines the relationship between myth and religion.Last, he spotlights three of the twentieth century's great psychiatrists, Carl Jung,Erich Neumann, and Carl Kerenyi, honoring their deep and definitive views aboutmythology.Searching God will encourage avid readers everywhere to consider and appreciatehow authors may have subtly-and not so subtly-influenced their lives in waysthey never expected.
