520    The author chronicles his own spiritual journey and 
       describes with honesty the difficult decisions he made 
       along the way. Girzone has attracted a following with his 
       series of novels that imagine Jesus living in the 
       contemporary world. Here, he recounts the long, 
       complicated, and often painful process he went though as 
       he sought to find peace with his beliefs. He writes about 
       hard decisions that set him on unexpected paths and about 
       the immense feelings of loneliness he experienced in 
       making those choices. In thoughtful and thought-provoking 
       reflections he brings to life the years of searching and 
       the deep, critical thinking that gave him the courage to 
       embrace his beliefs, opening a world of excitement and 
       adventure for him.--From publisher description.
