5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Wise Advice, January 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Spiritual Practice: Simple Pathways for Enriching Your Life (Paperback)

Everyday Spiritual Practice is for anybody who wants to deepen their spirituality, but isn't entirely sure how. Each chapter focuses on a particular spiritual practice (meditation, prayer, fasting, for example)offering an inroduction to the practice. Some things not typically understood as spiritual disciplines are included here, such as marriage, gardening, and cooking, giving the reader valuable insights into daily mindfulness. The recommended reading list provides further direction for seekers. Ptactical and wise, I highly recommend this book.

A wonderful collection of ideas to help you implement spirituality into your life. There are several chapters that provide ideas on how one might include spirituality into daily living. Not every idea is going to appeal to every person, but there is enough variety and depth that everyone should come away with helpful ideas. This book is especially appropriate for persons who are willing to consider other avenues to spiritual living besides only Christianity.

I ordered this book because it was required reading for a 10 month course. I really liked the book. It is an easy read - with each practice presented in a few pages. I was especially impressed by the variety of spiritual practices included and the objective, non-judgmental nor dogmatic text, something not always easy to find. Great book. So glad to have read it. Highly recommend it.
