There must be something more to life. The modern world is a place of great distraction, and it can be difficult to make sense of our human existence. But at some point in our lives, we may experience particular moments that prompt us to search for something deeper. Sociologist Peter Berger described these hints and clues as "signals of transcendence" that awaken us to unseen realities. In Signals of Transcendence Os GuinnessTells stories of people who experienced signals of transcendence and followed them to find new meaning and purpose in life, Explores the experiences of notable figures such as Leo Tolstoy and C. S. Lewis as well as lesser-known individuals who experienced a variety of promptings that signaled to them that life could not continue as they had thought, and Shows how we can experience the same kinds of moments of transcendence if only we open our eyes to recognize the signals. Through unsatisfied longings or disillusionments that yet yielded glimpses of beauty or joy, these moments drew people toward epiphanies of transformation. And the same can be true for us, should we have the courage to follow the signals wherever they may lead. Listen for the signals. And discover what more awaits those with ears to hear.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
