At a time when many people are trying to give depth to their lives and seeking answers for mind, body and spirit, this book by Margot Kässmann from Germany brings to light the wealth of spiritual tradition offered by Christianity. Against the background of the spiritual resources of the Bible, worship, prayer and song, the book explores the diversity of spiritual opportunities open to individuals or groups. Using examples from the pas and from the present day, the book is an encouragement to hold together the tension between hope and struggle, prayer and action, the life of faith an responsibility for the world. Though written from a Protestant -- and specifically Lutheran -- perspective, this book is also an invitation to discover the ecumenical opportunities offered by spirituality. Keeping silence with on another, meditating, listening to music or being confronted with art, a spiritual approach to faith cuts across the borders of confession, culture and language.
