Searching God is one man's introspective look at the most influential books in his life, beginning at age seventeen when he discovered Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet. In this provocative exploration of spirituality, history, creative mythology, and psychology, George Kuser profiles eight significant writers: Kahlil Gibran, Arnold Toynbee, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Carl Kerenyi, J. J. Bachofen, and Conrad Richter. Kuser discusses how and why their writings have changed his life and way of thinking forever. Because The Prophet impacted his life at such an early age, Kuser focuses his attention on how Gibran's philosophies have informed his thoughts on spirituality. On history, he discusses Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History, written in the middle of the twentieth century, and compares Toynbee's ideas about religion with today's concepts. For creative mythology, Kuser delves into the power of myth with 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 about mythology. Searching God will encourage avid readers everywhere to consider and appreciate how authors may have subtly-and not so subtly-influenced their lives in ways they never expected.
