The Transformed Heart : Spirituality, Religion, and the Struggle for Integrity

What does a mature religious faith really look like? What does it mean to embrace and follow a spiritual path and live it with personal integrity? What are the characteristics of healthy religion? In this intensely focused exploration of the complex relationship between personal spirituality and religious belonging and practice, Zanzig proposes that the natural outcome of a lifelong process of spiritual transformation, lived with integrity, is an attraction to a mystic, contemplative spiritual path. We are all in this sense "spiritual seekers," and both the goal and the reward of our commitment to our faith is a continual and growing pull toward a contemplative experience of faith.
