Above the Sun: The Search for Lasting Meaning in a Passing World

"Who am I?" "Where did I come from and where am I going?" "Why is there suffering in the world?" Drawing upon the teachings of Sacred Scripture and the Catholic Church, along with the works of philosophy, poetry, literature, and art, Above the Sun contemplates these questions on the deepest levels, presenting the reader with a clear contrast between following the way of the world and following the way of God. In Jesus we not only receive the promise of future happiness in heaven - that realm above the sun - but we begin to experience that happiness in a real way here on earth.
