A deeply insightful exploration of how to live with wisdom, resilience and love in our turbulent times

For the last quarter-century, author and activist Brian D. McLaren has been writing at the intersection of religious faith and contemporary culture. In Life After Doom, he engages with the catastrophic failure of both our religious and political leaders to address the dominant realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and the increasing likelihood of civilizational collapse. McLaren defines doom as the “un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling” that “we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves.”

Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which you belong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us —this is the book you need right now.

This book has convinced me that indeed, we must do this inner work now."―Debra Rienstra, author of Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth

Excellent book!

Frightening, yet hopeful !five of us read and discussed it. A great book for discussion. Many helpful quotes and illustrations. He has written many excellent books.

Deeply raw, deeply real

Brian has the super unique ability to delivery body blow level thoughts/truths, with the gentle, soothing delivery of a loving family member. His books are best consumed as audio books.

The truth we need now. This calmed me down and gave me a sense of purpose in these chaotic times.

Mr McLaren was such a compelling narrator. What a leader for these years. Much of his narrative is validation of the unease I have been feeling, and he articulates it in a way that makes my own courage and wisdom accessible to me again.

Resilience, found.

This is the right message at the right time for me, reframing dread and rich with ways to make a difference in my own life and in that of the world. I’m on my third listen, am marking up a hard copy, and there may be a study group in my future. Thank you, Brian McLaren!
