Dogmatic Slumber: My Journey to Awakening

By David Mackaman

If you knew that today was the last day of your life, is this how you would choose to spend it? At least for him, he knew there needed to be something else, something more. Most of his friends and family were perplexed. They thought it rash. How could an accomplished bank president from America's heartland, who had led a principled and purposeful life, abandon his career on his 55th birthday to embark on a pilgrimage of sorts to a small village in the Loire Valley of France?He knows he's not running away from something, but rather towards something, but what? Epic experiences, his parents' long-lost love letters from World War II, and the mysteries of a foreign place conspire with a single amazing individual, an 84-year-old former Jesuit priest, to change everything and awaken this man from his dogmatic slumber. This is a story of inspiration, of sorrow, of joy, of forgiveness, of wonder, and yes, of awakening.
