About the Author
What sort of youngster goes to church and youth group every Sunday, prefers astronomy books to the Hardy Boys, and chooses nature hikes over baseball games? A nerdy type who grows up with parallel passions for science and religion, passions which, in Roger’s case, have continued into and throughout adult life. A math major in college, Roger went to seminary (the University of Chicago Divinity School), where he found a calling to the mental health field, a career that allowed him to combine science (psychology) and service. The path led to a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
In his years at the Community Mental Health Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Roger found that even after relief from symptoms, clients often looked for something more, a way to make sense of life and bring meaning out of painful experiences. The quest to make sense of life—in all its physical, human, and spiritual dimensions—resonated with Roger and still drives him, even though there can be no final, certain answers. His writings reflect what he has learned along the way.
