Patricia talks with Tom Rapsas, author of Wake Up Call . Tom is also the writer of the Wake Up Call column at Patheos, a web site that offers the most extensive information on the internet in the areas of religion and spirituality. Here Tom describes himself and his work. I’m what you might call a “regular guy.” For virtually all my adult life, I’ve worked a 9-to-5 job in an office. Yet, like many of you, I've had a life-long interest in all things spiritual. Wondering if there might be more to life than the daily cycle of work-home-sleep-repeat, I began reading voraciously–everything from books on philosophy, Buddhism, and the Jesus teachings I grew up on, to the latest spirituality bestsellers, self-help columns, and human-interest stories in my local newspaper. I encapsulate what I’ve learned in my weekly Wake Up Call columns and feature the very best of these stories in Wake Up Call, the book.
