God is No Laughing Matter: Observations and Objections on the - Softcover

A witty, powerfully honest, and irreverent look at the culture of 'spirituality'.In part a sequel to Right to Write (and certainly in format akin to this rather than the Artist's Way series) but focusing on the spirituality side rather than writing how-to, Julia Cameron debunks the mythology surrounding the spiritual life. There is nothing worse than embarking on a serene journey to discover God and yourself, only to find the path strewn with irritating 'Spirituality Buffs' who, far from accepting the moment and giving thanks, are occupied by notching up one more retreat than you or one half-hour more meditation a day. Showing you how to avoid being dragged down by those who are 'holier than thou', and how not to become a spirituality bore, this book will help you recognise true inspiration. Julia Cameron will get you noticing God in the small details, to enrich your life with His presence, rather than following regimes and striving to fit God in as a separate and anomalous category. With anecdotes, techniques and simple tasks to get you thinking along these lines, Julia Cameron's thought-provoking text will heighten your individual autonomy and also enrich your life and community.

Julia Cameron is the author of The Artists Way, The Vein of Gold, and The Right to Write. She is an active artist who teaches internationally, and also a poet, playwright, novelist and composer with extensive credits in film, television and theatre.
