"I'm spiritual but not religious" is a phrase no longer

voiced by only the young and those who have left the

church. It is now a phrase used to describe the spiritual

lives of the middle-aged and beyond, as well as

those who continue to seek sustenance for their souls

within church settings. Whether young or old, churchconnected

or not, there is a spiritual restlessness

among those who seek an authentic faith life but do

not find conventional religious teachings meaningful.

This accessible guide to a meaningful spiritual

life is a salve for the spiritually anxious and hungry.

It reinterprets traditional religious teachings central

to the Christian faith-God, Jesus, faith, prayer,

morality and more-in a way that connects with

those who have outgrown the beliefs and devotional

practices that once made sense to them. It helps

readers find new ways to understand and relate to

traditional, narrowly defined Christian "truths"

that honor their full spiritual power and scope.
