PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As we strive to compete and succeed in today's high-tech, high-pressure marketplace, many of us who identify as Christians find we are experiencing a sense of estrangement from our souls, drifting further and further away from the Christ and Christianity we had hoped would sustain us throughout our lives and careers. A newly released book, Godyssey: A Postmodern Spiritual Adventure in the Lord by M. Elizabeth Kessler, seeks to help such people rediscover that Lord whose gentle "wooing" they still sense within some recess of the soul, and to recover those Christian values they have lost touch with in their pursuit of success.
Drawing on her own experiences in "living for success," Kessler takes us on a spiritual adventure with a cosmopolitan twist, approaching her subject from a unique perspective: that of a onetime Yuppie seeking redemption from a life of "rational selfishness;" and developing that subject from an unusual frontier: America's recent corporate culture and the careerist/consumerist society it has fostered.
By presenting Christ as a kind of "mentor" in the art of successful living, Godyssey will enable even the most spiritually alienated to reconnect with their souls and recreate their lives using scriptural principles integrated with strategies for successful living, learned and developed under the intriguing "mentorship" of a personally involved Lord.
