Von der hinteren Coverseite

A solid spiritual life is within everyone's reach . . .

it's not that complicated.

Getting a life of any kind is hard enough in a world that has us going around in circles -- from the stresses of our workplace to the demands of home and back again tomorrow.

Getting a spiritual life can seem like a luxury to be put off to another, quieter time.

Robert Wicks, however, believes that the search for a spiritual life begins not in some exotic, unreachable place, but right where we are -- in the midst of all the craziness.

It starts within our busy, stressed-out human hearts, not in some other "more spiritual" place.

The more we are able, therefore, to be our true selves, the more successful we will be in developing a spirituality that will be real and satisfying.

Here's solid, common sense advice on how to get a spiritual life -- no matter how busy your day.
