Love Songs of the Zombie

Is there a God? Can religion be compatible with science? Why do terrible things happen to good people? You are on a lifetime journey seeking answers to these questions. The author, a scientist and business leader, shares insights carefully collected and collated during his 70-year quest, and provides some surprising, illuminating, and stimulating ideas to point you in the right direction."Ron Stephens does not write poetry or prose so much as he writes holy texts. With his layered, complex, mystical, and yet down-to-earth language, he manages to see eternity not just in a grain of sand, as Blake did, but in every object he encounters, in every experience, and in every tick of the clock. Loves Songs of the Zombie is an astonishing work-heartfelt, quirky, unorthodox as hell, but wholistic and hopeful. In Stephens's work, to my appreciative surprise, I see the revival of the spirit of the great mystic poet Angelus Silesius. Stephens is worth reading, reading again, and taking seriously." -Robert Hudson, author, The Beautiful Madness of Martin Bonham, The Poet and the Fly, Kiss the Earth When You Pray, and several others.
