Ronald Rolheiser makes sense of what is frequently a misunderstood spirituality. In posing the question and "What is spirituality? and " Father Rolheiser gets quickly to the heart of common difficulties with the subject, and shows through compelling anecdotes and personal examples how to channel that restlessness, that deep desire, into a healthy spirituality.This book is for those searching to understand what Christian spirituality means and how to apply it to their own lives. Rolheiser explains the nonnegotiables - the importance of community worship, the imperatives surrounding social action, the centrality of the Incarnation, the sustenance of the spiritual life - and how spirituality necessarily impacts every aspect of human experience. At the core of this readable, deeply revealing book is an explanation of God and the Church in a world that more often than not doubts the credibility of both.
