Somewhere in your childhood, without you realizing it, a seed was planted in you. It wasn't a physical seed - it was the seed of your first moral decision, the very first moment you chose between the good and the rest. This seed does not die. It pushes towards eternity. Seedlings of Eternity is a collection of fifty spiritual reflections in which Michael Hagan explores, with disarming frankness and warm humor, the big questions of human existence: Who am I? Why am I here? What happens after death? How can we live in a more conscious, more loving, more real way? Each text starts with an everyday detail - a stolen truck, a house renovation, a day of fishing, a smile exchanged in the metro, a slice of toast in the morning - and opens up to something infinitely larger. He does not preach. He tells us. He shares his own failures, his contradictions, his unforeseen moments of grace. And in each story, he invites the reader to look within. Loosely inspired by the spiritual philosophy of The Urantia Book, these texts are not addressed to any particular religion. They speak to anyone who has ever felt that life should mean anything - to anyone who has left the pews without leaving the quest, to anyone who is searching without knowing exactly what. Seedlings of Eternity can be read as you wish - in order or not, in the morning at the caf or late at night, alone or to share. Each chapter is short, autonomous, open. Some will make you smile. Others will stop dead in their tracks. A few may arrive at just the right time. It's a book about the seed within you. And on the eternity to which it leads you.
