  Description

  The child of a military family, young Marshall Shearer dealt with personal tragedy by formulating poignant questions that led to contradictory and unsatisfactory religion-based explanations. He never stopped seeking answers, even as he has enjoyed a wonderful life: medical school, loving marriage, beautiful family, and a distinguished career dedicated to helping people learn to live happily, to embrace others, and to cherish life. Through it all, he persisted as a student of the world’s religions, asking new and ever-more sophisticated questions and finding answers we can all accept, from atheists to the most devout. Having developed his own unique perspective for understanding our place in the world, he continues to share his vision through books ranging from how to grow successful relationships to advocating bold new ways to achieve harmony among all religions. In My Life and Spiritual Journey, Dr. Shearer tells us his own story, the intimate perspective of one determined man who refuses to compromise in his quest to discover the acceptance we all seek and deserve.

  About The Author

  Retired psychiatrist Marshall L. Shearer, MD, has served as Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, developer and trainer at the Masters and Johnson Institute, researcher, consultant, and journal author. He and his wife, Dr. Marguerite R. Shearer, wrote the syndicated “Sex Help” column for 23 years, as well as the popular relationship self-help book Maximizing Happiness Through Intimate Communication. Born to generations of ministers, Marshall melded a lifetime of religious studies with expertise in the human mind to write Toward Interfaith Harmony, a spiritual atheist’s bold exploration of how human thinking shapes our relationships with the Divine, a guide for transcending mere tolerance so that we may celebrate the differences that make us whole. Marshall continues to find happiness with Marguerite at their home by the river in Dexter, Michigan.
