Romancing the Holy: Gateways to Christian Experience - Tapa blanda

Millions today identify themselves as Christians but find church attendance unfulfilling or even irrelevant. Many others who are comfortable in the church are seeking to deepen their relationship with God. People in both groups often flounder as they try to find a starting place for their journey. Based on the premise that there is no one correct way to begin one's romance with the holy, the author weaves stories of her own spiritual exploration with information on a variety of paths, inviting readers to choose that which best meets their needs. These include church membership, spiritual direction, spiritual reading, retreats, prayer groups, and online spirituality.
