Finding God Today: One Catholic's Way

A look in any bookstore, a search on the web, and a random surf through the many cable TV channels confirm that there is a hunger for spirituality in these uncertain times. With such a wide menu of spiritual options available, what is the best way to satisfy that hunger? E. Springs Steele has written a gentle, practical guide to spiritual growth that revisits basic forms of spiritual practice found in Roman Catholicism. For new as well as veteran spiritual seekers, steele introduces traditional modes of Catholic prayer through stories, most of them from his own life or vocation. He walks readers through the practices of spiritual reading, "lectio divina, and Ignatian mental prayer. Then he turns his attention to the Rosary (especially the new Luminous Mysteries), the significance of our actions at Mass, the model of Jesuit prayer, and the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
