Finding Your Own Spiritual Path: An Everyday Guidebook

Rating:
Summary: A useful spiritual guidebook for today's seekers.
Review: Peg Thompson has given us a real gem: a book to use, not just to read. She avoids sentimentality and sectarianism, choosing instead to help the reader peel away his or her own layers of hurt, fear, pain, futility, and anguish in seeking a uniquely personal spiritual life. Her journaling exercises and questions are keen and helpful. Her "Passageways" in each chapter are drawn from many different meditation sources. The book draws on the varied experiences of a diverse group of people, showing that spirituality is truly multi-layered, multi-colored. This is a book for those of us who need a way to live spiritually but often feel frustrated and pained by our "efforts" or uncertain about how to go about it. No judgements are made nor are any doctrines taught within its pages, and Thompson even shares with us her own frustrations, joys, triumphs, and setbacks in living spiritually. Read it, use it, grow with it.
