You need To Check this Recipes Good Living Beginners Spirituality
There's something truly wonderful about seeing life as a journey of discovery. In "Recipes for Good Living", Terry Biddington serves up a feast of ways to live well in the world. Writing for young people who are finding themselves on their own for the first time, Biddington offers an approach to spirituality that is never heavy-handed and, while parental in tone, is never paternalistic. His experience as a chaplain at Manchester University uniquely qualifies him to address people of this age who arrive on campus with diverse experiences of religion, faith, and spirituality. He encourages exploration ("Try this recipe...!") while offering sound advice on the pitfalls of making reckless decisions. He dedicates this book to his daughter, who loves to dance and finds herself liberated by the act of dancing . For Biddington, this serves as a model for discovering ourselves at our most human. When we are most human, we are most spiritual, and when we are most spiritual, we are most connected to that which is ultimate in the universe.
While US readers may trip slightly over a few British words and phrases, these should be no obstacle to readers' discovery of what Biddington has to say. I highly recommend his book to young people making the transition to university life (it would make an excellent high school graduation gift) and to anyone of any age who is interested in creative explorations of spirituality and good living.
