Suburban Mysticism: A Love Story - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

R. Scott de Snoo is a pulpit minister, a storyteller, a computer technician, and a writer living and working in Southeastern, Wisconsin. What a man is and does in the world cannot predict the level of impact and the sphere of influence that he unwittingly wields on opinion leaders, educators and organizations. Scott's deeply personal essays have been used by ministers, leaders, teachers and individuals all over the country to move more deeply into asking themselves questions of self discovery-questions that both dim and fuel their faith, inspire their callings and impact lives beyond their own. Scott's inner authority comes not from his unique and enviable childhood led in a "Leave it to Beaver" setting in Waukesha, WI, nor from his experience as a needle-using methamphetamine addict, nor as a drunk, though all those experiences helped Scott discover that neither who he is nor who he was have anything to do with what is going on outside of himself. Scott spent six years in the peacetime Navy, working, brawling, and learning, and discovering the world beyond Wisconsin. When he returned to rebuilding a civilian life and graduating with honors from the University of Wisconsin, the writer and spiritual seeker emerged. Everywhere Scott went, the world was his mirror. Everything he has learned about his nature is your nature. Everything he has recorded about his story is your story.
