Synopsis:

By Marko Ivan Rupnik, Translated by Susan Dawson Vásquez Foreword by Cardinal Tomáš Špidlík, S.J. The term "spiritual" today means many things to many people. This inspiring book gives Christians a surer footing, showing what church tradition teaches regarding true spirituality and how it can best be lived out amid the hectic pace of modern life. Composed of two insightful essays titled "The Spiritual Life" and "Spiritual Fatherhood: A Majestic Path for Personal Wholeness," In the Fire of the Burning Bush offers an appraisal of Christian faith that will be new to many readers.

Both a visual artist and a theologian, he is also a consultant for the Pontifical Council for Culture. R. A.

The spiritual life is seen to be both centripetal (unifying) and centrifugal (expansive), issuing from that all-embracive love that is Christ. Of great beauty is the section dedicated to the Face of Christ (the Acheirop
