A Way Without Words: A Guide for Spiritually Emerging Adults
Sinetar provides a sophisticated method for adult spiritual growth through dialog, either alone or with a small group. Part 1 * discusses spirituality as higher intelligence and emphasizes naturalness, silence, autonomous reflection, meditation, oral reading, and discussion. "Our Brand of Heaven," Chapter 8, shows how sacred texts, especially the Psalms, foster identification with God through increasing attraction and personal integration. Sinetar includes readings for seven sessions designed to encourage spiritual self-evaluation. Both the readings and Sinetar's comments are not restricted to a particular religious tradition.
