“These are titles that have most impressed and inspired us.
“Since we only review books that we want to recommend to you for your spiritual journey, this selection actually represents the best of the best.”
Spirituality and Practice is a multi-faith and inter-spiritual website, founded by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat.
“The site’s name reflects a basic understanding: spirituality and practice are the two places where all the world’s religions and spiritual paths come together. While respecting the differences among traditions, we celebrate what they share in common.”
Launched in 2006, Spirituality & Practice consolidates nearly 50 years of the work of co-directors Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat and their various publications and projects, including Cultural Information Service, Living Room Learning, Values & Visions, and the Spiritual Literacy Project.
In their review the Brussats commented: “We commend the author for bringing such clarity, depth, and daring to the well-worn topic of loneliness!”
