Spiritual Quest: A Guide to the Changing Landscape Book

What is holy and what is harmful? How can I judge what is authentic spirituality and what is not? What do I really believe? Many Christians are struggling to find meaning on their own outside the Church, yet find themselves in a world that changes daily. Thomas Hart--author of The Art of Christian Listening--offers a pilgrim's guide to charting a solid path through today's evolving landscape. Hart revitalizes the best of Christian tradition then presents new ways of thinking about God, Jesus, the role of sexuality in spirituality, and how science affects our understanding of God. Illustrated by stories of real people on their own journey of faith, this book summarizes some of today's alternatives to traditional spirituality, including the women's movement, ecology, and social justice. The book suggests ten universal principles for developing a life-giving Christianity. It also includes questions and exercises for reflection, discussion, and assimilation of the material. Hart's work is a favorite with professionals in spirituality--pastors, pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, and teachers--as well as by anyone seeking deeper spiritual meaning in life.Read More
