Telling evocative stories from a variety of religious traditions, including Taosit, Jewish, and Christian, palmer shows that the spiritual life does not mean abandoning the world but engaging it more deeply through life-giving action. He celebrates both the problems and potentials of the active life, revealing how much they have to teach us about ourselves, the world, and God."--Back cover. |
