The Strawberry Ben Spiritual Workbook: CoCreating Everyday Eternal Living
()
About this ebook
"THE STRAWBERRY BEN SPIRITUAL WORKBOOK: CO-CREATING EVERYDAY ETERNAL LIVING," is a tool for practice and application of spirituality, and in that way, for “achieving” spiritual growth. It offers specific insights. Moreover, I am thrilled to announce new editor, Aric Loehlein!..The book's "Part II" is titled "The Strawberry Ben Workbook," and is an interactive guide with excerpts and questions from my first novel, "The Weathering of Strawberry Ben." Furthermore, "Part I," titled "Co-Creating Everyday Eternal Living," is an introductory summary of psychological and philosophical views concerning the holistically healthful pragmatics of spiritual principles – as well as a brief theory of the human need for a dynamic, working, RELATIONAL SPIRITUALITY. "Part II" unfolds in naturally inquisitive terms – utilizing Socratic methodology - and incorporates an honest and thorough synopsis of experience, healing, and continuing practice - expressed as the book's question-and-answer format.
