States of BLISS & Yearning
The marks and means of authentic Christian spirituality
by: John L Bell
Spirituality is not a permanent high, a continual blissed-out state. To experience the heights, one has also to know the depths. In this book based on speeches and sermons delivered in marquees, cathedrals and local churches, John Bell deals with issues as diverse as private devotion and public debt. The picture of God that emerges is not one of a 'celestial sadist' but rather a compassionate being who asks that we do only what we can, starting from where we are, to be just and compassionate too.
