The Book of Practical Faith, 4th Edition: 4 Steps to Spirituality Without Religion

In the last few decades, more and more people have begun identifying themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” But what does that mean exactly? Is faith meant only for churchgoers, or can anyone benefit from the rewards of a sensible, non-dogmatic spirituality? First published in 1995, THE BOOK OF PRACTICAL FAITH is a concise and eloquent volume that has helped thousands of seekers understand their own spiritual experience. In four lucid steps — Releasing Guilt, Gathering Trust, Practicing Patience, and Learning Transcendence — author D. Patrick Miller reveals a path to greater peace, perseverance, and dedication in the midst of everyday life. “Faith can be sensible and savvy, and practicing it daily increases its reliability. Yet faith is also tinged with mystery, for it is the connection to unknown potential and the power of creation itself. Faith is the way out of misery, the way into self-knowledge, and the way toward a more fulfilling and effective life.”— from the Introduction
