Author David C. Stant became a Christian and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior at a later period in life. With no religious influences as a child, he set out to reconcile his earlier understanding of the world around him with his new faith. The Hero's Path is the result of David Stant's independent studies of religion and philosophy. The book includes poetry, philosophy, and theology in an attempt to blend religion and science and succeeds in demonstrating that regardless of background and upbringing that a life of faith is possible in the modern era.
