In varied detail, the book describes this inner experience, and how almost all of us-atheists and believers alike-actually have been visited by it, but without understanding what it means and why its intentional cultivation is necessary for the fullness of our existence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034985742576,"sku":"9781585428472","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781585428472_p0.jpg?v=1763806399","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781585428472","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
