Description

Who is not haunted by such questions as, “Who am I?”; “Where do my feelings and thoughts come from?”; “What is the purpose of life?”; “What is read mental health and how can I sustain it?”. Many of us look for solutions from the pulpit, from mental health professionals or from those who are older and wiser. Some people claim to know all of the answers and offer to teach us for a price. Others oversimplify the issues, repeating cliche phrases and easy slogans.

The Golden Tread supplies no simple answers or definitive pronouncement. Rather, it gently leads the reader through key questions, clarifying philosophical concepts in lay language. Mr. Childs draws together psychological discoveries and teachings from revelation that makes sense to the rational mind. These are based on the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, which offer an internal spiritual sense to the stories of the Old and New Testament, explaining their relevance to every human life. Not only the curious philosopher will be struck by Mr. Childs plain, yet profound answers to common questions about life. The spiritually and emotionally troubled will find great solace and comfort in this book. The reader will benefit from going back many times to passages in this book for ever deeper insights.
