Three Paths Out of Paradise (Longing for Eden)

In a culture obsessed with documenting its life on social media and taking personality tests, Three Paths Out of Paradise gives rare insight into knowing oneself. This book puts words to the deep longings of the human heart, showing how these longings first imprison an individual but, when surrendered to Christ, can become the power that brings healing to one's world. With years of study and experience, as well as a rare gift into getting quickly to the bottom of the heart of another, Dr. Erickson serves as the perfect guide for the journey to the center of our wants.

For the last thirty years, Dr. John Erickson has been involved in a number of fields: engineering, leadership, and education in the U.S. and overseas, including the US Navy, the US Department of State, and Trinity International University. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in communication, theology, and leadership in several schools in the U.S. and throughout Eastern Europe. He has been a leader in personal development and pastoral ministry in Chicago and other cities. He continues to mentor and develop emerging leaders across the U.S., on the Purdue University campus, and in Southeast Europe. John and his wife Debbie have two children and two grandchildren.
