Description
Book SynopsisThe greatest calling we can have during our brief journey here on Planet Earth is to earnestly yearn and search, without prejudice, for an intimate relationship with the one and only true Creator God, outside the box. The vast masses of humans never get this deep and blindly believe whatever they have been taught about God, often out of fear of rejection by family or peers. Others see God as a Heavenly Version of their earthly fathers. Paul Meier, MD, is a psychiatrist and theologian whose books have been read by over seven million people in over thirty languages all around the world, and he describes the many prejudicial mountains that must be climbed to become intimate with the real God. Dr. Meier also gives many positive ways to assist you to make that earnest search for "Experiencing God Outside the Box".
Trade ReviewThis is an amazing book! It helped me see God in ways I never saw him before and to grow closer to him. It showed me many powerful ways to overcome the prejudices of my past. --- Dr. Jean-Luc Bertrand, author and Emmy Award winning TV producer, Paris, France
Paul Meier gives us the complete picture of how to do this, spiritually, emotionally, relationally and neurologically. --- Dr. John Townsend, Psychologist and co-author of the bestselling Boundaries Series, Los Angeles
Paul brings us face to face with many new facts and experiences that will hopefully enable us to re-think and ‘re-search’ our relationship with God. . .This book will certainly help many find a new and more intimate relationship with the ‘real God’ and Father of us all. --- Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D., Psychologist and author, Brazil.
