This book is aimed at that huge group of people who describe themselves as spiritual but not religious. In other words  people who are open to encountering the divine and the transcendent  and indeed actively seek these experiences. The authors help readers improve their understanding of the religious nature of the psyche  the origins of myths and religions in the collective unconscious  and the ways in which organized religion has often worked to infantilize its followers. They leave the reader with an empowered ability to claim his or her own spiritual authority and lead a more abundant  authentic life.  Many of those who have left organized religion have done so because it has hurt them in some way or because it failed to address their needs  yet they maintain a strong yearning to reconnect with the divine and transcendent level of human existence. As religious fundamentalism continues to influence so much of our national discourse  and as atheistic books rank high on bestseller lists  the time has never been more crucial for a book to address a third way between fundamentalism and atheism - a way that encourages readers to connect with their true religious nature  while at the same time maintaining their intellectual integrity and claiming their own authority. McGehee and Thomas offer that third way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966654345269,"sku":"ByrdShop_031336530X","price":30.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-invisible-church-finding-spirituality-where-you-are-psychology-religion-and-spirituality","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
