Understanding the mystery we call \"God\" is akin to the story of five blind men touching different parts of a huge elephant. Each man's description and understanding of the elephant will vary based upon the location of his touch. The importance of any religion is determined by how much our respective spiritual paths lead us to grow in love and compassion for one another and for all other forms of life on this planet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sermon and reflections found in Beyond the Grave: Love and Immortality express a Universalist theology that all souls will eventually be reunited with the mystery we call \"God.\" Inherent in this collection of writings is the belief that there is truth in all religions and that there are many valid spiritual paths. No religious dogma or ideology has a monopoly on truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Resource Publications (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049873850608,"sku":"9781606089385","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606089385_p0.jpg?v=1764107077","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606089385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
