The Saint Thomas Bodhisattva Archive: Volume II: The Kingdom Mindset

By Glen Grehan

This book combines and revises content from my previous books Faith, Suffering and The Middle Way and Inner Fire and The Kingdom Within. If you own those, you already have most of the material.

What if faith is not about being rescued, but about becoming resilient?

The Kingdom Mindset is a serious exploration of faith, suffering, and inner discipline for a modern world that has lost its bearings. Blending Christian theology, Buddhist ethics, and psychological realism, Glen Grehan challenges sentimental religion, performative positivity, and mechanistic views of God, replacing them with a mature vision of spiritual life grounded in responsibility and endurance.

Across themes such as suffering and non-intervention, freedom and coercion, honesty and deception, media culture, relationships, and modern addiction, this book insists that real faith does not eliminate pain but transforms how it is carried. Christ and the Buddha are presented not as competing figures, but as parallel exemplars of courage, restraint, and inner sovereignty under pressure.

Written in clear, uncompromising language, The Kingdom Mindset rejects both academic obscurity and motivational shortcuts. Instead, it speaks to readers who are tired of slogans and ready for substance, people who want to live truthfully, act responsibly, and cultivate peace without denial.

This book is for those who suspect that the kingdom is not something that arrives from above, but something built within.
