Guidance on life's journey

Who am I? Why am I here? Where did I come from? What are the meaning and purpose of my life? If you're asking yourself these and similar questions, then The Quest is for you. A goldmine of ideas, questions, quotations, activities, practices, resources and wisdom, this book has something for everyone on the spiritual quest, whether you're just setting out on the journey, or have been travelling for many years. It can help us find clarity in a marketplace crowded with peddlers of spiritual wares; help us distinguish between the fake and the genuine article; and help us discover our true selves. It cuts through the conflicting messages to the essence of a life grounded in personal experience that is individual yet universal. The Quest is a contemporary expression of the perennial voyage, that matches the spirit of the times. Like the `Free From' foods in our supermarkets, this book is free from many ingredients that may deter the modern pilgrim. It is free from dogma and doctrine, free from the beliefs of specific faiths. Non-prescriptive, it guides us on a voyage of exploration and discovery into our inner selves, the nature of spirituality and spiritual experience, and of how to live life in a spiritual way. It encourages us to listen to our inner voices, trust our intuitive knowing, and respect our own uniqueness. And it encourages us to face the difficult challenges and dark places of life, using them to change and grow. The book is visually interesting, with lots of diagrams. It mixes explanatory text and thought provoking quotations with a diversity of activities and basic instruction in a toolbox of spiritual practices. But working with The Quest is itself a journey. It is not a light evening's read, but a training manual and traveller's guide to some of the most rugged terrain encountered in the human journey.
