In 2018, at the end of a speech Rod Dreher gave in Genoa, an artist approached him with an engraving crafted by his own hand. In broken English, the artist explained that earlier that afternoon, while in his studio, the Holy Spirit directed him to attend Dreher's talk and present him with a particular drawing of an obscure medieval saint. At the time, none of this made sense to Dreher. However, two years later, during a period of deep depression and confusion, the saint—a Tuscan hermit named Galgano—reappeared in Dreher's life under circumstances that were far from coincidental. This encounter set Dreher on a profound journey to discern God's will for his life.
A Journey Through Faith and Mystical Encounters
- A lifetime of mystical experiences and collecting stories from others has:
- Strengthened Dreher's Christian faith.
- Convinced him that God reveals Himself to us constantly, though modern Western culture has dulled our ability to perceive His presence.
- Key questions explored:
- How did we lose our capacity to sense God's presence?
- Why does this happen in the West but not in other cultures?
- Can this disconnection be reversed—and how?
Rediscovering the Divine: What "Living in Wonder" Offers
LIVING IN WONDER delves into how the West became "disenchanted" and provides practical guidance to help readers regain their sense of wonder and awareness of the divine. This guidance is drawn from:
- History, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience.
- Testimonies from monks of the ancient Church.
- Real-life accounts of:
- Miracles.
- Visitations by saints and angels.
- Encounters with demons.
Through these stories, readers will be inspired to see that the material world is not all there is. God is neither silent nor elusive—you just need to learn to see with clear eyes.
Why Modern Christianity Feels Empty
Join Rod Dreher as he investigates why contemporary Christianity feels hollow to so many and why countless young people are abandoning it. He argues that:
- The enchanted, sacramental vision of the early Church is still true, though hidden.
- The experience of God is accessible to anyone—if they are willing to take the risk.
This book will challenge and guide you to rediscover a sense of mystery, meaning, and divine presence in a secular age.
