Description
Desire is at the heart of what it means to be human. This revised edition explores the intimate connection between desire and the spiritual journey, drawing on Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, Christian spiritual classics, poetry, and personal experience. The power of desire is seen as both embodied and sensuous, yet also God-given and central to all human spirituality. Philip Sheldrake examines how desire relates to God, prayer, sexuality, decision-making, and responding to change, offering insights into the role of desire in a spiritual life. Through a thoughtful exploration of these themes, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between desire and the spiritual path.
