How To Live A Spiritual Life Without Leaving Your Day Job R Joseph Owles

This book is simple. It is an attempt to provide short, simple, daily, and hopefully practical, spiritual principles for those seeking to live a "spiritual life." It is based on The Rule of Saint Benedict and Benedictine spirituality. Benedictine spirituality is tied to community. It is based on a prayer life that is tied to the Scriptures, especially that of the Psalms. It envisions a balanced life of prayer, worship, study, and work. In the context of an anxious and uncertain world. Benedictine spirituality encourages stability, practices radical hospitality, is concerned with justice and peace, and it strives to find the sacred in the ordinary. This book presents 365 daily spiritual principles derived from Benedictine spirituality. These short spiritual principles can be used each day for meditation, or for reflection throughout the day as you go about attending to the business of life. You do not have to be a monk to embark on a daily adventure that leads to finding God in the ordinary, and finding your true self in the process.
