About this ebook
What happens when a conventionally trained, materialistic psychiatrist is challenged by the growing holistic, spiritual view of life? Make All Things New gives a dynamic picture of his resistance and inner turmoil as he slowly finds that his entrenched worldview is unsustainable. A gradual inner transformation is brought about by encounters with a cluster of gifted young people and by startling events in England, America and, crucially, in Africa. He ends as someone wholly different.
His address to a gathering in Africa concludes, ‘Dear friends, do not draw a curtain across new scenes that disconcert, a curtain made heavy by stale thinking, dead theory. I did so for too long, but let the cleansing wind of experience, confrontation blow that curtain aside. Let it blow. Make all things new.’
