Synopsis

If you ever wondered what the spiritual unrest of the 1960s and 70s was all about with the Hippies, their gurus, and the Jesus movement, you'll want to read this concise, thoroughly engaging memoir. Author and "child of the sixties" Dean Davis describes his youth as:

• growing up in a comfortable middle-class home
• leaving home (in his case to go to college)
• getting interested in philosophy and Eastern spirituality
• singing melancholy folk songs about love and war
• experimenting with drugs
• flouting the sexual wisdom of the ages
• questioning authority, disdainful of the Establishment
• protesting the war and American presence in Vietnam.

But then something happened. He became a radical in the deeper, more philosophical sense of the word. He began to marvel at the mystery of being. He began to think seriously about life's ultimate questions. He wanted to get down to the bottom of things—to the very root of reality—to see and experience it for himself.
In short, he now realized he had to find out the truth about God—or die trying, which he almost did.
This is Dean's story. And, in some ways, it's the story of every spiritual seeker who wrestles with God in a furnace for gold.
