Paperback. The mystical is making its way into the mainstream once more - our cultural craving for all things transcendent, mysterious, sacred and spiritual is taking centre stage. And that's a great thing. At least, Belle Tindall-Riley, a Gen Z, Christian academic thinks so. Not only does she believe that those cravings for the supernatural are good, but that they're the truest thing about us all. In The Sacred Ache, Belle takes a read of this cultural moment; exploring the spiritual practices that are making their way into the mainstream and seeking to identify the soul-cravings that are fuelling them as well as the ways our culture is distorting them. She then puts the wildest, most mystical and soul-fulfilling aspects of Christianity on display for all to see. Rounding off by honestly and vulnerably explaining why Jesus fulfils every one of her spiritual longings, and then some. A craving for the mystical is leading a whole generation towards witchcraft, tarot and crystals, but Dr Belle Tindall-Riley suggests a more satisfying way to quench a spiritual thirst found in the person of Jesus Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Across culture, there is a growing openness to the spiritual, the transcendent, and the mysterious. From astrology and manifestation to ritual and embodied practices of Tarot, Wicca and Meditation, our generation is searching for something more, something... sacred.
In The Sacred Ache, Christian academic Belle Tindall-Riley argues that this hunger is not a trend, it is the truest thing about us.
With clarity and courage, Belle examines the spiritual practices shaping our landscape, asking what deep soul-longings drive them and where they ultimately fall short. She explores why our desire for transcendence is both beautiful and easily distorted - and why it points beyond itself.
Turning to Christianity, she uncovers its most mystical and embodied dimensions, revealing a faith far richer and wilder than many imagine. Honest and vulnerable, Belle shares why she believes Jesus does not silence our spiritual ache - He fulfils it.
A thoughtful and compelling book for anyone exploring spirituality, deconstructing faith, or wondering whether Christianity can still speak to our deepest longings.
