Synopsis

This is an important study of spirituality in a world of confused and conflicting definitions of the spiritual. Christian spirituality flows from an understanding of who God is and how God acts in creation. It is a personal and communal recognition of God in one's life and a life awareness and celebration of that presence of God. Anyone who wonders how the Christian faith shapes life will find a great value in this book.
