Spiritual Living: What Matters - and What Doesn't is for the person who wants a more rewarding spiritual life. Written in a lucid, conversational style, the book focuses on issues that really matter, clearing away linguistic and doctrinal stumbling blocks that often prevent spirituality from developing into religion. Pertinent questions after each chapter make this book ideal for discussion groups and spiritual retreats, as well as for the individual. It includes an annotated bibliography. "Without promoting a particular theological agenda, Helen Hills explores a wide range of questions with candor, clarity, and freshness. I heartily recommend this book as a mature starting point for deepening the journey of faith and a resource for discussion groups." Rev. Andrew Foster, Rector, Church of the Ascension, New York, N.

Y. " Spiritual Living will be helpful not only to spiritual directors, clergy, and faith communities, but also, and perhaps especially for secular souls yearning for affirmation and advice beyond the boundaries of a particular religious tradition." Rev. K. Jeanne Person, Grace Church, Brooklyn, N.Y. "Helen Hills leaves room for skeptics to become believers and for believers to be skeptical. Her definition of spirituality is expansive rather than narrow.

The book is written in a way that invites the reader into a dialogue with the author." Esther Haskell, Charlemon Federated Church, Charlemont, MA.
