Tending the Perennials: The Art and Spirit of a Personal Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578482781)

If you've ever felt disappointed by institutional forms of religion, but longed for a sense of spiritual meaning and vitality in your life, Tending the Perennials is the book you've been waiting for. Author, teacher, and aesthetic philosopher Eric Booth guides readers toward engagement with the perennial truths of art and religion-truths that are grounded in the same deep human principles, but can get lost in the distractions of daily life and institutional agendas. Booth, who has been named one of the 25 most influential people in the American arts, offers a wide variety of active ways you can create a spiritual practice, starting with the innate artistic skills you already have. This clear, cogent, inspiring (and often surprising) book provides an eloquent language for describing experiences and ideas that you didn't have words for before...and like a generous, wiser friend, accompanies you on a path to greater happiness. The first reader of Tending the Perennials proclaimed, "Finally, we have the 21st century Joseph Campbell we have needed."
