RADICAL SPIRIT features a collection of personal writings from young spiritual seekers. Though the book contains multifarious experiences and viewpoints, a common core emerges that speaks to the heart. The unity-in-diversity is this: each author lives his or her own vision with sincerity and authenticity. They each approach their own unique path with a warm openness in body, mind, and spirit.

If you're interested in immersing yourself in emerging cultures, new visions of the world, and fresh outlooks on life, then this book is a must read. Some see Generation X as a transition culture - given life by the Boomers and birthing the culture yet to come. Ken Wilber calls this unfolding stage of consciousness "integral." Given the great spiral of development, the contributors of RADICAL SPIRIT act as prophets for tomorrow by courageously sharing the light and darkness of their lives here and now.

Reading this book made me feel at home.

This collection opens doors to new understandings of contemporary spirituality in the USA.. The committed and courageous individuals who contributed to this volume give voice to the current and future fusion of transformative practice and social and environmental justice.
I highly recommend this book!

Stephen Dinan's Radical Spirit gathers writings by almost thirty pioneers and visionaries with different views of modern spirituality, from Sadhvi Bhagwati to Julia Butterfly Hill and others. Buddhist, Wiccas, and a range of practitioners in-between are represented in a volume which highlights spiritual and social awakening alike.
