Divinity Within Ourselves: A Memoir

by D Derek Lyons

Overview

Divinity Within Ourselves proposes that belief in God naturally arises from the operation of the human brain, particularly from consciousness of mind itself. This point of view came four decades after the author weaned himself away from the theology of the Catholic Church. Deeply religious from early childhood, Derek Lyons rebelled from God during a wrenching experience while he was a teenager. Here is the story of his conversion, and how and why it happened.
