| Introduction | I am author of "The Empathy Imperative," a novel of spiritual awakening that takes the reader on an journey with Professor Mark Jefferson Hale, evolutionary biologist. His journey begins at the beginning of the Tribulation--the Time of Sorrows as foretold in Revelation--and takes him through a gauntlet of political intrigue, romantic ambivalence, a purge of liberal educators and a personal battle with remorse over the death of his estranged, fundamentalist father. Yet even as world disasters increase in number and strength, and even though he is an unrepentant skeptic, he will become the focal point for an event that will be felt the world over and for all time. The "Empathy Imperative" will present to the reader profound questions that test the parameters of our view of justice, mercy and benevolence. What is justice? Is our sense of justice good, such that God, Himself, approves? Is divine justice something other than what we believe to be just? Professor Hale will have these questions answered and provide the means necessary to move our world into a future where empathy, not personal gain, is our primary motivating force. |
