Popular columnist and urban developer George Bockl is back with his third book on the necessary lift-off from earthbound religious tradition to global spirituality that we're all going to have to experience sometime. Why?

Basically, because only our nonmaterial, Spirit-oriented ideals and aspirations are going to save us from crashing as a species; and our traditional, "revealed", doctrinal (and dogmatic), historically and culturally locked-in religions are not up to the task. Twilight is overtaking them as their leaders scramble to be "relevant". The "Force" isn't with them any more.

George Bockl's readers love the way he explains this and the stories he tells -- a combination of wit and wisdom. They sometimes wince when he deals the religion establishment a well-earned jab; then they reflect just how much sense it really does make.

But critiques of religious superstition and complacency are not enough. Where does the future lie for those who are ready for a bigger, better idea of God? Giving you the answer in these pages is George Bockl's bliss.
