Beautifully wise book, with a mindful, heartfelt approach to the lovely imperfections of our humanity. I recommend this as a must-read for spiritual seekers. xo ( ) Formatting matters -- which is why I almost returned this text to the library. But I waded into the first chapter and now own a copy of the book. The concept -- "The Spirituality of Imperfection" -- rings true for me. Who needs spirituality if they're perfect or one day might be? The focus on story and its power to create community and foster healing also resonates. The stories come from various wisdom traditions and the community that understands their power is Alcoholics Anonymous -- and it all works. I'm ready to read it (and underline) again. The spirituality of imperfection, steeped in the rich traditions of the Hebrew prophets and Greek thinkers, Buddhist sages and Christian disciples, is a message as timeless as it is timely. This insightful work draws on the wisdom stories of the ages to provide an extraordinary wellspring of hope and inspiration to anyone thirsting for spiritual growth and guidance in these troubled times. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
