Author Diarmuid O'Murchu charts the evolution of his spiritual life in his provocative new memoir, Paschal Paradox.
Hello, John! "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways." —1 Corinthians 13:11 When you are young, simple answers make sense—"yes" and "no"; "good" and "evil." But the more you grow and learn, the more difficult it can be to make sense of life's paradoxes. This is especially true when it comes to questions of faith within a Church that can at times seem overly focused on hierarchy, rules, and black-and-white thinking. How can your faith grow alongside you? In the new book Paschal Paradox: Reflections on a Life of Spiritual Evolution, author Diarmuid O'Murchu shares his own life experiences at key points when his faith had to stretch and grow—or wither and die. As a result, his faith is ever-evolving, expanding to embrace the unexplainable. If you've ever felt the need to stretch and grow in your faith, this is the book for you. |
"Paschal Paradox is a tribute to one man's search for truth and the profound inner changes he undergoes to be free of punitive or exclusive cultural or religious identities, and, ultimately, to embrace a different understanding of God." —Beverly Lanzetta |
