Product details:

• Author:  James M. Russell 

From City of God by Augustine of Hippo to Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, a concise guide to 54 spiritual classics. This very readable guide examines a wide range of spiritual writing that can be a source of enjoyment or inspiration, including some books from beyond any formal religious tradition. While written from within the Christian faith and offering introductions to the writings of medieval mystics, Quakers and modern evangelists, both Protestant and Catholic, it also looks at classics of secular spirituality and writings from different religious faiths. Russell shows clearly what each book has to offer and a Speed Read at the end of each entry delivers a quick sense of what each writer is like to read as well as a highly compressed summary of the main points of the title in question.

Table contents:

1. Early Christian Classics
2. Later Christian Writings
3. Approaches to Prayer
4. Meditations & Praise of Solitude
5. Lives of Inspiration
