Words That Show The Way: Uncovering the Christian spiritual path (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726324618)

It is easy to think of the Christian way of life as simply using Jesus' teachings as a moral code for living. But this is to overlook the deeper spiritual path that lies at the heart of Jesus' teaching, and which this book seeks to explore in depth. As the author, Ian Mason, writes in the introduction, "It is a path through life where we can find meaning and purpose, accompanied by joy and inner peace." However, Jesus' teachings on the spiritual path, as detailed by the writers of the New Testament, are not always easy to understand, because many key words and phrases are used differently in everyday life. Part I, therefore, explores the true meanings of these "words that show the way" from the New Testament, uncovering a clear overview of the path. Part II then sheds more light on the path by examining in detail some of the concepts raised in Part I, drawing on the experiences and insights of a wide range of later Christian writers, including the author himself. This book thus forms a comprehensive practical guide to the Christian spiritual path, showing how to find and follow it, and what to expect on the journey, as we awaken to an awareness of the guiding, transforming and comforting divine presence within us.
