Publisher's Description
In the light both of the Bible and of modern science we are confronted not with an abstract and generalized man, but with men who are concrete and personal. They are always in their context, in a certain relationship to the world, to others, and to God. They are always changing. This changing is made up of seasons, stages in their lives, each of which has its own characteristics and peculiar laws. It is in this life story that God's plan may be accomplished. This is what is intimated by the title The Seasons of Life: a man in movement, continually undergoing change, a man living in history, unfolding from his birth until his death. The very movement implies meaning in life.

“This public lecture of Paul Tournier shows his particular brilliance as a communicator. Here he draws on conversations with his wife, his patients, and his friends to give the reader his own credo, 'It is the whole of life that we embrace in one look (encounter with God) and that already is overflowing into resurrection.'”
