{"product_id":"9781462842858","title":"Godyssey: A Postmodern Spiritual Adventure in the Lord","description":"Anyone who had their corporate coming-of-age during the \"live-for-success\/look-out-for-number-one\" heyday of the ‘70s and ‘80s will nostalgically delight and find renewal of spirit in this book by a onetime Yuppie \"reclaimed\" by her Lord. Like many of her generation who found themselves caught up in consumerist values and careerist lifestyles, the author experienced a sense of estrangement from her own soul...sparking a search for \"redemption\" that will touch the heart of the most jaded worldling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      A spiritual adventure with a cosmopolitan twist, \u003ci\u003eGodyssey\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to help the spiritually disenfranchised rediscover that Lord whose gentle \"wooing\" they still sense within some recess of the soul, and to recover those Christian ideals they had lost touch with in their pursuit of success. By presenting Christ as a kind of \"mentor\" in the art of successful living, this book provides much-needed shepherding to those left spiritually stranded by their immersion in America's recent corporate and cultural milieu. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                                                              Foreword.........................................................................................................................9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      I           Strange Gods.....................................................................................................13\u003cbr\u003e                                                     \u003ci\u003eIn servitude to the self\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      II          The Pearl of Great Price....................................................................................25\u003cbr\u003e                                                     \u003ci\u003eA seduction of the soul\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      III         Coming Home....................................................................................................33\u003cbr\u003e                                                     \u003ci\u003eGod's gentle politics of persuasion and conversion\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      IV         The Good Life....................................................................................................71\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eA work of art from the canvas of the everyday\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      V         The Greatest of These.......................................................................................95\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eLife's highest calling\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      VI         Getting Along...................................................................................................123\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eGrace through gritted teeth\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      VII        The Second Mile..............................................................................................149\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eThe art of \"Good Samaritanship\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      VIII        A Journal of the Winds....................................................................................179\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eGod's potluck providence\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                      IX         Crooked Lines..................................................................................................199\u003cbr\u003e                                                      \u003ci\u003eThe poetry of pain\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                                                              Afterword.......................................................................................................................221\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                              ","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124750237936,"sku":"9781462842858","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462842858_p0.jpg?v=1763679322","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462842858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
