Mere Spirituality

With new insights into ancient wisdom, Mere Spirituality will challenge people to embark on their own spiritual journey with practical and tangible results in mind. Western society is in cognitive dissonance, paying lip service to scientific materialism while simultaneously searching for meaning in life, believing in spiritual realities, and experimenting with different religious practices. Being fed an anemic diet of the shallow and superficial, society is starving for depth and searching for purpose. Mere Spirituality offers a concise commentary on the state of Western civilization, highlighting the successes and failures of its modern worldview and philosophy while reintroducing essential elements that formed its foundation. By diagnosing the current spirit of the age, it then prescribes a healthier alternative without sacrificing rationality, explaining the concept, reason, and practice of spiritual disciplines. Bridging the gap between the left and right brain, Mere Spirituality speaks the language of reason to establish the deeper purpose and meaning of life and the logical arrival at spiritual conclusions. The result is a fascinating and insightful study of humanity, society, and reality, with a greater understanding of the “what” and “why” of spiritual disciplines that don’t just preach to the choir. This inspirational guide will encourage people—whether they’re mystics or skeptics—to step out of their spiritual comfort zone.
