Description

In the book God, Choices and Guidance: A Theology for a Modern Civilization, Rev. Rick L. Samples examines how the church of the past and the spiritual movement of present day clash. Through his poignant real life stories, Rev. Samples discusses different religious beliefs and concepts that help guide the reader to a new understanding of God’s interactions within our world. Through his experience as a medical chaplain, Rev. Samples brings the reader into the world of his chronically and terminally ill patients. These interactions help the reader understand how and why life can suddenly spin out of control and how God can help them through difficult times. Rev. Samples, through his conversational style of writing, offers a simple way to connect with God for those who feel that they no longer have a place to turn for help. Rev. Samples presents thought-provoking new ways to develop and deepen a personal relationship with the Divine for non-believers and believers alike. The book introduces a spiritual guide to God for those who have lost faith in formal religion.

Finally, a process theology book that is both thoughtful and practical. God Choices and Guidance: A Theology for a Modern Civilization is written in a manner that makes it accessible to everyone, not just theologians.

I love how Rev. Samples uses stories from his own ministry to illustrate complex concepts. The book draws a post -modern map that connects the 21st century individual to the eternal divine. This book has helped me in my practice of chaplaincy by giving me a new “handle” in which to hold the suffering I witness everyday.
