Natural Spirituality: Recovering the Wisdom Tradition in Christianity

Rating:
Summary: Good book for those in search of more. . .
Review: I found out about this book through my church. I was pleasantly surprised by its content. It is for those who feel what the church provides is not enough but what it offers does not compete with church teachings. It remains grounded and does not fly off into 'new-agey' territory. Our church established a monthly evening meeting covering different subjects of the book which have enhanced my appreciation of natural spirituality immensely. It was amazing how many people have experienced natural spirituality everyday but didn't recognize it as such. My only argument was the comparison with the Beatles was a bit far-fetched. She provided an interesting angle on the connection to the White album and integrating different aspects of our personality but it got a tad, bit cheesy (so the four instead of five-star rating). This should not put anyone off reading it who is left unfulfilled by standard church doctrine as this book points those interested in several areas of exploration -- I Ching, Carl Jung, Meyers-Briggs, etc. without venturing too far away from Bible teachings.
