As its title implies, Embracing the Call to Spiritual Depth will appeal to those who have been on an intentional spiritual journey for a while, experienced a variety of hopes, frustrations, and dryness on the way, been in and out of churches or other religious communities and centers, praying, learning, questioning, trusting, loving, leading as called, and surprised by grace many times. It has words of counsel to those who seek to live on a day-to-day basis from a deeper spiritual ground than their egos or their intellect. In Embracing the Call to Spiritual Depth well-known spiritual mentor Tilden Edwards, who founded and directs the Shalem Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, shares some practical and theological insights for the deepening spiritual journey, centered on what it is to live with the mind in the heart, and on the overflow of such contemplative openness into our communities and leadership. †
