It helps& ; readers find new ways to understand and relate to& ; traditional, narrowly defined Christian & 01C;truths& 01D;& ; that honor their full spiritual power and scope.& ; Ideal for personal spiritual nourishment, small& ; group practice or as a spiritual direction resource,& ; this guide invites readers to open their minds and& ; hearts to the full impact of Christian teachings and& ; to consider alternative ways to understand them.
