A look in any bookstore, a search on the web, and a random surf
through the many cable TV channels confirm that there is a hunger
for spirituality in these uncertain times. With such a wide menu of
spiritual options available, what is the best way to satisfy that
hunger? E. Springs Steele has written a gentle, practical guide to
spiritual growth that revisits basic forms of spiritual practice
found in Roman Catholicism. For new as well as veteran spiritual
seekers, steele introduces traditional modes of Catholic prayer
through stories, most of them from his own life or vocation. He
walks readers through the practices of spiritual reading,
"lectio divina, and Ignatian mental prayer. Then he turns his
attention to the Rosary (especially the new Luminous Mysteries),
the significance of our actions at Mass, the model of Jesuit
prayer, and the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
