God is No Laughing Matter
Observations and Objections on the Spiritual Path
by Julia Cameron
Overview
From the Publisher
Sharing firsthand observations on the influences of spiritual life on her work, Cameron asserts that "for every step we take toward God, a thousand are taken toward us." With the prevalent paradoxes and contradictions one often finds in the spiritual trek today, God Is No Laughing Matter will help readers find their own inner compass, strengthen their personal connection to the divine, and determine their personal spiritual path.
Cameron offers her trademark "sparkling prose" and anecdotes and helpful techniques, and her thought-provoking, humorous essays paint the spiritual journey in a refreshingly clear light. Addressing the way spiritual "experts" have clouded the message, her book shows readers how they can better concentrate and make conscious choices that heighten their individual autonomy as well as enrich their lives and community.
My thoughts
I'm just getting started with this book as part of my Lenten studies in 2009, but so far the exercises are quite inspiring and soul-searching. I'm enjoying this book a great deal.
