Something Greater is Here

In his mid-thirties, Dr. Kenneth Howell was teaching in a Protestant seminary after nine years of Presbyterian ministry. After receiving the highest degree possible in his field, he was exactly where he wanted to be. But two nagging questions wouldnt leave him. Is what he believes really true? Does he really understand what it means to be a Christian? And the second: is this all there is to being a Christian? Could there be a deeper spirituality out there that he had not yet encountered? He tried to avoid, ignore, and suppress them, but they wouldnt go away. He was faced with a tough choice. Either pursue the truth and the God of all truth with integrity and zeal, or sit back in a comfortable life of familiar places and familiar faces. He decided that he really had no choice. It was all or nothing. His pursuit of truth, goodness, and love gradually led him into a world he had only vaguely glimpsed from afar. It was a world filled with things for which he had always longed. It was the fullness of truth.
