Groff (The Soul of Tomorrow's Church; What I Would Believe if I Didn't Believe Anything) shows here how the search for a deeper faith and the practice of writing can be interwoven to enrich each other. Not many guides to spirituality or spiritual practice offer the faithful and would-be faithful such an active role in the creation of their own sense of contemplation and belief: where else would one encounter a discussion of kenosis(the outpouring of God) as a form of Keats's "negative capability"? This work includes 30 exercises, as well as resources for further study, and is a perfect springboard for workshops. Groff's fascinating work ought to renew and refresh both writers and people of faith. Highly recommended.
