About
Matt Stein and Possible Dreams
At midday, O king,
I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
- Acts 26:13
Matt Stein was born in Western
Massachusetts, grew up in a tiny country town of less than three hundred
people, and spent the first twelve years of his life exploring the natural
world around him with the only other child within five miles, his older
brother. After absorbing the beautiful forests, dirt roads, streams and
mountains, he was moved to a larger city where he attended a series of good
schools. He adored math and science, earned a degree in Philosophy from the
University of Massachusetts, and was a staunch atheist until the thirty-first
year of his life. He now resides in Austin Texas with his wife and two sons
where he atones for his atheism by examining his world, thoughts, and memories
with the goal of capturing in writing, even a fragment of the wonderful internal
experiences he has mercifully been given.
By the grace of God he is now both treasure hunter and author.
Matt’s Books so far:
A Little Light Under the Sun
Except from back cover:
As you and I know, there are many kinds
of darkness. Sometimes darkness comes quickly, descending on us like a great
cloud, and threatening to swallow us up. Just as often though darkness sneaks
up so slowly that we don’t even notice its arrival, not so much a thing of its
own, but more a gradual fading of the light, a lantern’s wick slowly burning
down and dimming with no new source of oil. Take heart! No matter how dark our
room has become there is always a source of illumination available. It’s here,
right now, even if it’s just one tiny flickering point of light, almost
indistinguishable at the other end of the universe. However dim or distant it
may appear, a way out is provided. This book is about that way out. It’s about
finally deciding to investigate the pinpoint of light, about looking through
that one shimmering portal into another world. It’s for those of us who have
become curious about what waits outside, right around the corner, behind the
curtain, just over the hill, eager to greet us should we take the time to look.
Gather round, have a peek, all are invited to discern a little light under the
sun.
