About
A highly readable, deeply insightful exploration of how to live with wisdom, resilience and love in our turbulent times
For the last quarter-century, author and activist Brian D. McLaren has been writing at the intersection of religious faith and secular culture. In Life After Doom, he engages with the catastrophic failure of both our religious and secular leaders to address the dominant realities of our time. McLaren defines doom as the "un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling" that "we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves."
Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging. If you want to help yourself, your family, and your community, small and greater, to find courage and resilience for the turbulent times that are upon us - this is the book you need right now. A former college English teacher, Brian D. McLaren was a pastor for twenty-four years. Now he's an author, activist, public theologian, and frequent guest lecturer for gatherings in the U.S. and internationally. His work has been covered in TIME Magazine, Newsweek, USA Today, The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and many other media outlets. The author of more than 15 books, including Faith After Doubt and Do I Stay Christian? He is a faculty member of The Living School at the Center for Action and Contemplation. McLaren lives in Florida.
