Our pursuit in life is for the peak state of "happiness." No peak can be sustained without a heroic encounter with the pit valleys of our lifespan. Heroism helps us "fight the good fight" of Paul against evil and death with courage, humility, faith, and honest realism as we are drawn to the peaks of goodness with empowered love. Our sunrise of birth begins with our moms "fighting the good fight" to endure birth pains and powerlessness. Our sunset of rebirth comes from the defeat of sin and death through God's own sacrifice. The burst of crimson skies reminds us that we are born through a mom's blood for birth and the Messiah's blood for rebirth into the glory of everlasting life. The darkness of our unknown valley is between sunset and sunrise. Here we reflect on the realities of birth and rebirth that every resilience in our lifespan foreshadows with reverent celebration.
Autorenporträt
The author experienced resilience as a toddler, teenager, and college student through the heroic and empowering love of others. When David lost his mother as a toddler, his teenage sister, Jane, took over and provided him with the resilient intimacy he needed-a "secure attachment." When he lost his substitute mother as a teenager, his eighth-grade nun healed his grief by fostering his creativity. As a college student, David experienced a loss of faith, which had sustained him. David was passionate about recovering his lost faith, leading him to pursue degrees in Philosophy and World Religions. Eventually, he embarked on a journey to study Christian conversion in Africa as a "participant observer." However, his small boat, functioning as a detached observer, unexpectedly went over the falls and immersed him in the deep waters of rich, authentic worship. This experience facilitated a full and heartfelt recovery of his lost faith, which this book serves as a testimony of spiritual resilience.
