The Religious Urge & the Reverential Life

Part 1, The Religious Urge, carefully distinguishes the heart's ineradicable religious instinct from cultural trappings and conventional religious forms. It also evaluates services and disservices of institutional religion and points to ways in which the current spiritual impulse is likely to unfold. Part 2, The Reverential Life, gives an individualized, practical approach to honest communion with the sacred through intelligent devotion, reverence, prayer, and mature humility. It features a section on what Grace is, and how it can open us to the sacredness of each moment of life.
