Grasping for Eden Michael M Middleton

Our world has become a more frantic and blurry place than ever before. More often than not, we feel trapped on some invisible hamster wheel, running madly but going nowhere. Our lives are incredibly full, yet we feel so desperately empty. Something which we cannot seem to define is missing. And so we grasp for each new trinket or experience which crosses our path, hoping...only to find ourselves disappointed once more. We long for peace. We long for simplicity. We long for Eden. Both humorous and heartfelt, poignant and pithy, Grasping for Eden candidly examines the root cause of our modern world's frantic, blurry emptiness. It attempts to envision the glory which mankind once knew---and lost---and explores how we may begin to find our way home to a life more like that which we were created to live...a life more like Eden.
