In varied detail, the book describes this inner experience, and how almost all of us-atheists and believers alike-actually have been visited by it, but without understanding what it means and why its intentional cultivation is necessary for the fullness of our existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585428472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.03w x 0.90d","brand":"Jacob Needleman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730117623989,"sku":"9781585428472","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_08c3e083-8c56-4f22-8b8b-39a1290fd55a.jpg?v=1758004213","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-is-god-9781585428472","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
