Synopses & Reviews
We are physical beings, and yet we are inherently spiritual beings who yearn to move closer to God, writes D. Peter Kalellis. He shows us how in this practical and insightful guide focused on the dynamics of the spiritual journey, on the continual process of developing a deeper relationship with God and consequently becoming better human beings that begins with our awareness and decision to listen to God's loving presence in our lives and in our world and includes our faith, focus, understanding and action. Drawing upon Scripture, the writings of the Orthodox Fathers, sources literary (Les MisC)rables), philosophical (Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras), and cinematic (The Lion King), as well as the author's own experiences as a psychotherapist, family and marriage therapist, and former Greek Orthodox priest, this is an intelligently written and infectiously enthusiastic invitation to journey to faith that contributes to the lierature of Christian spirituality. It includes end-chapter thoughts and questions for reflection and bibliography at book's end.
