Books by Paul F M Zahl

Everyone wants peace and hope.As we grow older, we feel a special urgency to make peace with the past and to discover hope for the future. In his newest book, Peace in the Last Third of Life, The Rev. Dr. Paul F.M. Zahl provides a roadmap to finding peace and hope for the 'Boomer' generation. Zahl's wisdom comes not only from his decades in pastoral ministry, but also from cultural and historical illustrations as varied as Philadelphia Soul, War of the Worlds (1953), and the skin of St. Bartholomew. With piercing wisdom and unflagging humor, Peace in the Last Third of Life connects the core questions of Boomers to the Supernatural Power of God.

Drawing on the classic teaching of the atonement as it is presented by St. Paul and other Christian thinkers, Paul Zahl unfolds its meaning for this generation. He then applies it to the problems of spiritual malaise and meaninglessness, which afflict us today: problems of depression and despair, of loneliness, and of broken relationships. Throughout, the Good News of Christianity--forgiveness, reconciliation, new life--is presented in terms that contemporary readers can easily understand and apply to their lives.
