The Soul’s Religion – Thomas Moore

Cultivating a profoundly Spiritual Way of Life. A companion to Care of the Soul.

HarperCollins

The Soul’s Religion is essentially a rendition of Thomas Moore’s personal journey through and towards spirituality.

He touches again and again upon his birth given religion, Catholicism, but stands apart from it, open to the entry of other forms of spiritual understanding. While he is willing to acknowledge the shortcomings of Catholicism, he appreciates also the modes of worship and philosophical outlook it provides.

The Soul’s Religion offers a refreshing advocacy of the allowance of mystery into our lives, in combination with the idea that no belief or spiritual outlook should be fixed.  Moore invites the reader to an openess of mind and heart and he encourages the exploration of the material world as a mode of living spiritually.

Thomas Moore’s willingness to be wrong makes The Soul’s Religion a gentle invitation to explore our own beliefs about the meaning of life and our place in it, and the place of God in our deeply personal lives.

This is a thought provoking book and a non-judgemental, joyful encounter with spirituality. It’s well written, easy to assimilate, and split neatly into short chapters.   Highly recommended for those seeking answers to spiritual questions.
