| Description: |
Spiritual Living in a Secular World. One day, while walking on Columbus Avenue in New York City, Fred turned to me and said, "Why don't you write something about the spiritual life for me and my friends?" Fred's question became much more than the intriguing suggestion of a young New York intellectual. It became the plea that arose on all sides - wherever I was open to hear it. And, in the end, it became for me the most pertinent and the most urgent of all demands: "Speak to us about the deepest yearning of our hearts, about our many wishes, about hope; not about the many strategies for survival, but about trust; not about new methods of satisfying our emotional needs, but about love. Speak to us about a vision larger than our changing perspectives and about a voice deeper than the clamorings of our mass media. Yes, speak to us about something or someone greater than ourselves. Speak to us about...God." from the Prologue |
