Sir Lloyd Geering offers a compelling argument for a transition from theism to a faith rooted in human consciousness and compassion. "The more we humans become an harmonious global society, relating in a healthy way to one another and to the planet, the more confident we can be about the future." The case he makes for a new, human-centered faith is compelling, easy to follow, and long overdue.

For me, Lloyd Geering is one of the foremost thinkers about finding and living ones values. In this book he traces the evolution of god as part of a more important discourse: how are we to live meaningful lives in our ever-changing world.

This is a book for all who live by John Wesley's admonition to "think and let think."

This book is well worth the short time it takes to read it. Geering joins a few other thinkers who see the current theological landscape as a sterile desert. If you can get over the idea of not having a god to bail you out, you will enjoy this book.

After hearing a talk based on this book, I bought several copies to share with friends.
