His journey takes him from a childhood dream in Omaha setting him on a search for fulfillment, to his time as a postulant in the Trappist order under the guidance of eminent theologian Thomas Merton.  Later, his quest took him through the deep self-discovery of psychoanalysis, through a failed marriage during the turbulent and exciting 60s, to finding fulfillment with his wife Rennie and a career as a writer. In <b>Providence</b> Quinn also details his rejection of organized religion and his personal rediscovery of what he says is humankind's first and only universal religion, the theology that forms the basis for <b>Ishmael</b>.<br><br><b>Providence</b> is an insightful book that address issues of education, psychology, religion, science, marriage, and self-understanding, and will give insight to anyone who has ever struggled to forge and enact a personal spirituality. 91356 1994 Providence total:260|5:45|4:82|3:100|2:25|1:8| 260 911 350 12 94755 0553375490 9780553375497 260 12 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223646325m/94755.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/94755.Providence 4 0 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 25 18:23:59 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 18:31:45 -0700 2008 If They Give You Lined Paper, Write Sideways is present in this book, and that's that when Quinn writes 'as himself' he comes accross as very full of himself, and rather cocky.
