Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence is about the author's life from age 3 to 12. He uses clips of events during that age to reflect on their meaning and what can be learned from them. Events are our memory. Innocence is instinctive, innate, spontaneous; less intuitive, less considered, less deliberate. Life is a big bundle of little things, little events. The diverse events in the universe of life serve a definite purpose. They are not accidental. Life has a higher design, the age of innocence is one place we can find some of that purpose; the ages of discovery, restlessness, and brooding will complete the other youthful places we can look. Reflection enables an honest and truthful review of who we are. The book is for learning, is as much about learning, about discovery. Time is the partner, the collaborator along with events and reflection that enable us to have a view of life's blueprint and God's hand in it. God is the primary cause of all that happens in life, in the universe. But, we must first acknowledge God for what He is, and have a personal relationship with Him.
