Summary:
With questions, real-life stories and solutions, Charles Kniker models the many forms of spirituality that can help readers explore life's big questions and ultimate mysteries. For young adults searching for answers to major questions; for mid-life seekers, thankful for family, friends and faith, but seeking more; for seniors whose traditional communities seem irrelevant, this book articulates the author's passionate belief that humanity, by nature spiritual, can transform dreams into deeds that will make a difference. Chapters in Part One are on home, self, voices of influence, and healthy spiritual communities. Chapters in Part Two offer a "YESS" to life through various ways of joyous Yearning, truth-seeking Education, Soul care (for one's self and for others), and Service to a world of neighbors. -- Adapted from cover.
