Beyond Belief, Second Edition

How do we become more spiritually intelligent and feel more alive and aware? What is the knowledge, and what are the life experiences, that can deepen our connection to the divine while strengthening our relationships and our sense of meaning and purpose?

In this book, the author reflects on contemporary, historical, cultural, and political events while drawing on his years of experience in major medical centers as a spiritual care provider, educator, and bioethicist. He articulates the fascinating evolution of psychology, theology, and quantum physics over recent decades, including recent research into the nature of the “soul” and our still unfolding understanding of the true nature of the universe. And he draws from his own journey of moving through and beyond his early religious training and beliefs to capture a far more meaningful—and spiritually intelligent—perspective.

Timothy Thorstenson is a spiritual care educator, chaplain, bioethicist, and life coach. He has authored several professional articles and book chapters and has been a frequent lecturer. After spending most of his career in medical centers in Minneapolis and Los Angeles, he now lives in New Mexico.
