Spiritual and Religious: Perspectives and Context 828713 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780764828713)

This book examines the essential connecting points that people typically encounter as they progress on their own particular spiritual journey. For some, that may include regular participation in a practiced religious tradition. For others, their experience may not include a strong religious identity. Regardless of perspective, the connecting points provide a way to experience contemplative living--an awareness of life that's fully awake, fully alive. This gift of grace can lead to a new way of engaging in life and growth in spiritual maturity.

Rev. Thomas Santa, CSsR, writes from the perspective of being both spiritual and religious, having spent most of his life as a Roman Catholic priest, spiritual director, and retreat director. He currently serves as the president and publisher of Liguori Publications, priest director of the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, and director of the ManagingScrupulosity.com website.
