One of the real treasures on spirituality

If you have ever thought of your own spirituality, not in abstract terms, but how some of the practical aspects may be considered, then this is a book for you.It begins with gently questioning what really touches us and going on to how our spirit or soul can be awakened through the practical daily living we experience. Lewis cleverly explains the profound aspects of simple things in life: food, memory, love to name but a few. You read each chapter of a few pages in a matter of minutes. But soon after this, as you make choices and decisions in daily life, you begin to question things a little more deeply, honestly. And this in turn leads to a little more introspection, perhaps a stirring of that divine spark we call our conscience. He leaves you with the scary thought that all the questions and the answers for the meaning of your existence, lie with you!
