Heavenly Gleanings & Self-Deliverance

About the Book

John faces his mortality as he has faced most of life·stoically. For John, life could be good or bad, enjoyable or miserable, depending on oneÊs luck. There is no „Heavenly‰ purpose for a person to conduct his or her life in one fashion over another. But there are mortal and therefore moral purposes, in JohnÊs estimation. In turn, there is individual responsibility for oneÊs actions. And John explores those human values and responsibility, as well as his Heavenly Gleanings. In the process, John develops his final theory about life, and executes his final very mortal deed to help his fellow humans.
