Book rings true

"The Art of Practical Spirituality" is a great mix of ancient and modern spiritual teachings. I found that, as some books just have one or two really practical ideas, this book has it all in one! Most of us these days live busy lives with work, study and family, but we're looking for a bit more in life, a way to live in harmony with themselves, their world and Spirit. Or maybe, like me, you're just someone who believes that life really isn't lived to its fullest until you've explored the spiritual dimensions too. One of the chapters talked about living in the present - i thought i did till i read this! Just to give an example of the common threads-I found links to buddhist and christian traditions when I read this chapter. This book brings them all together plus a bit more. Another chapter that I really enjoyed was 'let your spiritual self do the work' - hey, that is just what i need! And perhaps the best thing of all about this book is its simple, practical and a really convenient size! Enjoy!

Prompt to Action

The title is well suited for this book. I found that the content inspired me to action with ideas that I had not previously considered. I beleive that any spiritually oriented material which provides easy to understand and practical ideas to promote healthy spiritual growth is well worth the time and money spent. This is a short book and one in which I intend to pass along to friends and family. It is also good to keep handy and refer back to and refresh ones perspectives and approach to spiritual growth activities. I also enjoyed the quotes from the writings and sayings of spiritual saints, mystics, etc, as well as exerpts from ancient writings like the Bible. This gave the book a more "global" and "enternal" feel, a feeling that no one is left out regardless of their religion. It does require an "open mind" if you are already "set" in one spiritual tradition. Read and enjoy! And God bless your spiritual journey.
