“Stories of Life: The Nature, Formation, and Consequences of Character” by Davidson Loehr  

Davidson Loehr, branding himself a heretic from the tender age of six, has navigated a life marked by unconventional twists and turns. His journey, both unconventional and stirring, has culminated in the creation of “Stories of Life: The Nature, Formation, and Consequences of Character.”

His entry into the world of heresy commenced with a childhood Sunday School incident, challenging traditional religious narratives. This early rebellion against orthodox teachings set the stage for a lifetime of questioning and exploration. Despite a detour through the military and a successful stint in photography, he felt a lingering hunger for honest religion and meaningful stories. This hunger led him to the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he focused on theology, philosophy, and the study of religion.

The heart of this book lies in its exploration of character—the innate and learned aspects that shape who we are. Through witty prose and anecdotes from his own life, he invites readers to scrutinize their characters. Described as “captivating” and “life-changing,” the book promises a journey of self-discovery, using his life stories as mirrors reflecting the reader’s own experiences.

The central theme revolves around answering fundamental questions: Who am I at my best? How should I live to look back with satisfaction? He contends that religion, in its truest form, should address these existential queries. His unconventional approach, grounded in heresy and the road less traveled, challenges readers to choose better stories and more demanding paths.

An excerpt from the book showcases his storytelling prowess: “I found — then lost — my first important storyteller, and was through with religion.”

This snippet encapsulates the essence of his narrative, a blend of personal reflection and universal themes that resonate with readers.

As readers look into “Stories of Life” they can expect a stirring journey that encourages introspection and self-awareness. The book acts as a guide, prompting readers to examine their character deeply, identify influential factors, and ultimately choose a path that aligns with their authentic selves.

In his own words: “The heart of any real religion—and this book—is to answer our two most fundamental existential questions: Who, at my best, am I? and, how should I live so that when I look back, I can be glad I lived that way?”
