Spiritual and Religious: Perspectives and Context

Responding to the frustration expressed by those who complain they don't feel close to God, no matter how they try, the author asks readers to examine six essential points of connection "...that are routinely encountered as a person progresses on their spiritual journey." Having a contemplative awareness is meant to encourage readers, with or without a practiced religious discipline, to open their eyes to the gift of life and experience the sacred that surrounds them.
