  From: An Afternoon's Dictation: Inclusive Revelation for the 21st Century (Greenebaum) It is one thing t o demand answers but quite another to actually get them!  Book Description In 1999 Steven Greenebaum felt he'd hit the wall. Fifty years old, he could not make sense of his life or the world around him. For several months he angrily demanded answers from God, if God were there. One afternoon, an inner voice told him to get a pen and paper and write.

  From: An Afternoon's Dictation: Inclusive Revelation for the 21st Century (Greenebaum) As An Afternoon’s Dictation is published, however deep the hole in which we find ourselves, we face a basic truth. We can accept living in that deep hole or not. And if we reject living in this emotional and spiritual hole, we are going to need each other to climb out. However difficult and long that climb, I believe we owe the effort to our children and to children yet to come. And as we make that climb, may we free our souls of the fear of “them” that has so crippled our efforts to this moment.  Book Description In 1999 Steven Greenebaum felt he'd hit the wall.

  From: An Afternoon's Dictation: Inclusive Revelation for the 21st Century (Greenebaum) I deeply believe that if we are to find our way out of the darkness we will need to come together. We will need to find and cleave to what can unite us. We will need, if you will, a positive, hopeful, action-based spiritual renewal.  Book Description In 1999 Steven Greenebaum felt he'd hit the wall.
