A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe

Paul Rademacher

Show Description:
In his book "A Spiritual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe", author Paul Rademacher brings us a text for spiritual seekers looking to transcend traditional churches, temples and synagogues. A former minister, Paul Rademacher describes his own spiritual journey, using the Bible as a jumping off point to explore the idea of enlightenment. He goes from his Sunday school roots, to his days pouring concrete and his surprising decision to become a minister.
After examining his own religious beliefs, Rademacher found that churches often focused too heavily on eternity - what happens when we die. The rightful focus of any true spiritual path, he came to believe, should be on infinity - how to experience the fullness of our divinity in the here and now. Rademacher has succeeded in writing both a deeply personal memoir and a meditation on the greater meaning of authentic spirituality.
