More About the Author

M. Scott Peck's publishing history reflects his own evolution as a serious and widely acclaimed writer, thinker, psychiatrist, and spiritual guide. Since his groundbreaking bestseller, The Road Less Traveled, was first published in 1978, his insatiable intellectual curiosity has taken him in various new directions with virtually each new book: the subject of healing human evil in People of the Lie (1982), where he first briefly discussed exorcism and possession; the creative experience of community in The Different Drum (1987); the role of civility in personal relationships and society in A World Waiting to Be Born (1993); an examination of the complexities of life and the paradoxical nature of belief in Further Along the Road Less Traveled (1993); and an exploration of the medical, ethical, and spiritual issues of euthanasia in Denial of the Soul (1999); as well as a novel, a children's book, and other works. A graduate of both Harvard University and Case Western Reserve, Dr. Peck served in the Army Medical Corps before maintaining a private practice in psychiatry. For the last twenty years, he has devoted much of his time and financial resources to the work of the Foundation for Community Encouragement, a nonprofit organization that he helped found in 1984. Dr. Peck lives in Connecticut.

Peck has undoubtedly come to terms with himself and God and delivers a spritually guided message of depth and insight that is enhanced by the somewhat contemporary spiritual music of Marilyn Von Waldner (included CD's). The psychological Peck appears to be now, more than ever, atune to the grace and love of God and delivers his thoughts in the traditional Peck mannerism that avid Peck enthusiasts, as myself, have come to admire and receive enrichment from. This, as with most all of Peck's books, is food for the mind and soul and is a definite "must have" for anyone experiencing or wishing to experience the rightousness of God. A wonderful gift or recommendation to oneself, friends and acquaintances.

This is a little TREASURE. I don't care for the cover picture, I doubt Scotty would either, but it is a tender, meaningful, wonderful work. I love it!!
