About this Item

Paperback. A life well lived is lived in Light, but not the light that you can see, rather the light that sees you. This philosophical journey and meta-cognitive discussion is perhaps the most profound and genuine example of "everyman's" philosophy currently available. The author invites the reader to join him on a flow of thought journey of self and surroundings. As the reader embarks on this journey, the abrupt and often tangled nature of "Readers in the Dark," serves to mirror, both in tone and content, the conflicting principles, events, ethics and choices which that same reader may face in their life. As the author only encourages thought and contemplation as answers, and leaves the questioning for the reader, the depth of the reading is ultimately controlled by the reader. A truly inspiring and thought provoking read! This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

The Author: Michael S. Joling, B.A. Michael is commonly referred to as a "renaissance man." He has almost 20 years of formal Christian education and holds a degree in English from Wisconsin Lutheran College of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He also attended Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. Michael has worked in a variety of settings including that of a sheet metal mechanic, ironworker, fast food cook, high school and grade school teacher, facility manager, business manager, and paralegal. Michael has studied Christian doctrine and literary theory, authored literary critiques and has studied the effective methodologies for teaching critical thinking. Recently, Michael was certified as paralegal after successfully completing the requirements at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. At the present time, Michael is continuing to work on a Christian philosophy series tentatively titled Readers in the Dark. Michael's credo is: "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your power. Pray for power equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."-Phillip Brooks
