Soul Searching: a Handbook for Discovering, Developing, and Talking About Your Spirituality

Soul Searching: A Handbook for Discovering, Developing, and Talking about Your Spirituality offers you an opportunity to learn about the spiritualities of others while discovering your own. It does so by providing you with five chapters describing the nature of spirituality as well as its history, signposts, sources, and diverse manifestations in the world?s religions. It also provides you with five Dear Diary chapters that encourage you to describe, reflect upon, develop, and choose what is necessary for you to become a mature spiritual person. This is an ideal book for discussion groups that wish to learn about other religions, spiritualities, and how to make intelligent choices for personal and communal living. Appendices at the end of the book provide internet and print resources for further research into the spiritualities of the world, glossaries to help cut a path through the one hundred and eighty seven million web offerings, a list of key facts for understanding the classical spiritualities, and a list of dos and don?ts for talking about spirituality. If you are seeking to discover your own spirituality and understand those of others, this is a necessary part of your search.
