Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because "spirituality" is such a ubiquitous term today, any attempt to elucidate it more fully is only to be welcomed. Volume 23 in the LTPM series represents a significant contribution in this regard. Beginning with the apostle Paul, Declan Marmion shows how the meaning of the term "spirituality" changed over the centuries. He then offers a useful working definition of spirituality and explores the complicated relationship between spirituality, academic theology, and religious experience. In the main body of the book, Marmion focuses on the spiritual basis of Karl Rahner's theology. Exhibiting a comprehensive knowledge of the primary and secondary literature in this area, Marmion uses Rahner's notion of spirituality to treat such important themes as the nature of God, mystical experience, prayer, love of neighbor, and more.

Book excerpt: Writing about religion can kill your career, a friend told sportswriter Terry Pluto. Don't do it, advised media colleagues. Pluto followed his conscience anyway and began writing a new column for the Your Faith section of the Akron Beacon Journal. Turns out it was a good decision: now, thousands of loyal readers turn to his column each week for a regular dose of down-to-earth spiritual inspiration. This book collects the best from the first three years of that popular column. Really, though, Pluto doesn't write about religion. He does write about church and about God. But mostly he writes about the important issues we all confront in everyday life. Like getting along with our siblings. Setting a better example for our children. Listening better to our spouses. How money makes us do silly things. The lure of gossip. Feeling lonely. Giving in to anger. How we feel when our prayers go unanswered. Pluto writes from a very personal perspective, as when he discusses the vanity of his own approach to baldness, or reveals white lies he has used to make himself feel better, or describes the temptation to tell off his boss at work. It's this honestly humble approach to finding the spiritual in the ordinary that gives Pluto's writing such broad appeal. I don't care if you are a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, or a skeptic; there is a spiritual thirst in most of us, Pluto says. I try to write about God and us and what that means for our lives. For a sportswriter who never thought he'd write about faith, Pluto has brought a great deal of meaning to the lives of his readers. This collection will serve as a great way for Pluto fans to revisit the many inspirations found in his writing -- and toshare them with a new audience.

Wishing there were a way you could embrace God in your everyday life? This book offers a way forward. Rather than prescribe another attempt at daily devotional readings, written prayers and scheduled moments of quiet meditation, Everyday Spirituality expresses the truth that much of what we already do in life is, in fact, spiritual. · Walking· Cooking· Laughing· Sleeping· Moving· Spending· . This book is an accessible introduction to an ancient yet new way of thinking and being in the world. Rather than dividing spiritual life apart from daily life, Everyday Spirituality helps the reader realize that they do as connected to God, the sacred, the holy.

Book excerpt: The intimate link between Karl Rahner's theology and the everyday faith-lives of contemporary Christians is explored in this book in a convincing and comprehensive manner. What results is not only a surprisingly new angle from which to view Rahner's opus, but also an encouragement to risk the adventure of Christian discipleship in a world characterised by the apparent absence of God. It is not in the exceptional experiences - the spectacular visions and oracles - that Christian faith finds its distinctive form today. Rather, the spirituality of the future will be grounded in the acceptance and sanctification of everyday life, in its ordinary and even mundane character. God is discovered right at the heart of everyday life and not in some separate sphere. The author provides us with an invaluable orientation in this search. (Dr. R. Siebenrock - Karl-Rahner-Archives - University of Innsbruck)

Book excerpt: Far too often, we relegate the subject of faith to a philosophical discussion. But faith forms the core of our relationship with God. It is our reason for being. It cannot be an abstract concept but must guide us in every aspect of our lives. That is the essence of Shari Guilfoile's work, Everyday Faith: 48 Messages to Inspire Insight, Action & Joy in Everyday Life. Our days are filled with choices and temptations, challenges and victories, joys and sorrows. Being people of faith, how will we act? The stories and examples in Everyday Faith are familiar to us all, and help us understand how to infuse faith into our daily activities-how to live our faith, rather than just acknowledge it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the characters in the Bible, it is David who is most human. His life is lived on the "rough-edged actuality" of real life, and his relationship with God is an energetic one. Through the passions, the trials, and the lyrical poetry of this beloved figure, we gain powerful insights into the role of God in our own lives. In this inspirational volume, Professor Eugene H. Peterson, translator of The Message, uses stories from David's epic life as vivid lessons in everyday faith and spirituality. Exploring David's experiences of friendship, grief, love, sin, and suffering, as well as sanctuary, beauty, and wilderness, he reawakens us to the enduring truths behind these beloved stories.
