Story of a Spiritual Journey

This is a story of a spiritual journey that encompasses over sixty years. A most mysterious and unpredictable teacher assists in guiding the way.

The Beginning of the Journey

The story begins with the questioning mind of young Lane Ford gradually awakening to the reality of a substantial difference between the religions of his parents. As this issue is never firmly addressed, Lane's childhood and adolescent years include almost equal exposure to the Jewish and the Southern Baptist paths to God.

Themes and Purpose

The early religious contrast sets the stage for Lane's processing of all beliefs throughout his life. His story becomes not only a spiritual search but also a real mystery, a religious commentary, a biblical commentary, a social commentary, and an attempt to unify science with religion.

Summary

To sum up, this is the story about a search for reality.
