I am sure this book can bring God's enlightenment and wisdom in these last days in a much clearer way to people. I have seen how the lack of wisdom has made western society crumble, how everything is very confusing, we no longer know what is true or false, black or white, good or bad, the churches that once were the strong pillars that sustained and carried forward western society today have lost their credibility and power in the face of an increasingly unbelieving world, even within the churches there is a lack of agreement because the guidance of the Holy Spirit has been lost and each Christian thinks differently and not as God would like them to think. To tell the truth, I have felt this call of God for many years, but I did not know how to begin until in these last two years, God opened a door for me and made me write. At first, I did not think it was to make a book but after writing many things, I felt that it was time to carry out that idea that I had years ago of making a book that would serve to bring blessing to people and to bring the light of the word of God that the world needs in the midst of the chaos and confusion of these last days. It is not that I planned it or that I planned it for this time, but that God took me to places and made me meet people who opened the doors for me to write this book, and without these places and these people, this would not have been possible. I feel that if it is God's will and plan as I believe it is, God will open the doors, and this book will be published for the blessing of many people.

In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led—it seems to many—to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of the self provides a framework that more than compensates for the abandonment of substantive notions of rationality. The major insight of Sources of the Self is that modern subjectivity, in all its epistemological, aesthetic, and political ramifications, has its roots in ideas of human good. After first arguing that contemporary philosophers have ignored how self and good connect, the author defines the modern identity by describing its genesis. His effort to uncover and map our moral sources leads to novel interpretations of most of the figures and movements in the modern tradition. Taylor shows that the modern turn inward is not disastrous but is in fact the result of our long efforts to define and reach the good. At the heart of this definition he finds what he calls the affirmation of ordinary life, a value which has decisively if not completely replaced an older conception of reason as connected to a hierarchy based on birth and wealth. In telling the story of a revolution whose proponents have been Augustine, Montaigne, Luther, and a host of others, Taylor’s goal is in part to make sure we do not lose sight of their goal and endanger all that has been achieved. Sources of the Self provides a decisive defense of the modern order and a sharp rebuff to its critics.
