Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Spirituality Articulated
This book puts the spiritual life into words in a profound way. The authors weave the different components of spirituality together from compassion, patience, prayer,and action to confrontation. I found it both affirming and challenging. This is a great book for those involved with spiritual direction.
Rating:  - Some Pretty Nice Material.

Rating: - Compassion for guys (ladies welcome!)
When I was done, I'd highlighted a serious fraction of the text for future, frequent review. Excellent start into why compassion is important for some individuals, not everyone.

Rating:  - Spirituality Lite
This book is the perfect spiritual "pick-me-up" when you're just having a bad day or want to spend a few minutes reflecting on life in a positive way. The author lays out a substantial banquet, but always in manageable portions. Well worth your time, money and consideration.
Rating: - One of the best
One of the best books on Christian spirituality ever written. No other book encompasses the true sprit of the work of Jesus Christ like this one. If you like this book, I also recommend Walter Wink's "Engaging the Powers."
