This book changed the way I look at life

When I came across this book I was looking for something to explain what seems to be happening to us as a humankind, and on a personal level, something to give me hope in the kind of world I want for my children. This book made me see the process of our "Sacred Quests" in a way that I had never considered before. It is a must for people who are seekers, who want to understand how to connect with life in order to derive meaning and purpose, joy and hope. I have passed this book on to my family as gifts in hopes that they too will feel the magnificent connection to something greater than themselves while reading it. It is absolutely an amazing work!

A book for our time

Keck imports the idea of evolution, usually confined to biology, to the spiritual realm and describes the entire human jouney as an evolution of Soul. Somehow, through the subtlety of Keck's prose, the reader begins to see their own life as part of this grand evolutionary journey. What I really love is that Keck's book simultaneously confounds two ideological groups: conservative Christians and liberal scholars. Conservative Christians, for their part, view theories of evolution as a betrayal of Holy Writ. They will despise Keck's book. As strange bedfellows, liberal scholars would also be highly suspicious of Keck's evolutionary scheme because it presumes progress. To claim that human beings are getting better is a violation of the holy writ of "hard thinking."Any book that skewers both professors and fundamentalists is a book worth buying.

Sacred Quest and the Emergence of the Sacred

Bob Keck continues to explore a new frontier in spirituality by leading us into Epoch III. It is an outstanding exploration, of the Soul. He provides the reader with personal insights as well as a continuation of Deep Value Research which he emphasized in his earlier book Sacred Eyes. This is a must book for anyone to read who wants to understand about the emerging spiritual direction, and our relationship to the Sacred.
