Riassunto

Author John Wesley Downey, in his first non-fiction book, creatively combines basic Judeo-Christian beliefs with the simplest and most compelling concepts of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism to give readers The Ten Commandments of Spirituality. By combining basic spiritual concepts from multiple religions with pop culture references to movies, TV and music, Downey provides spiritual guidance that is totally accessible for contemporary readers. Written in a conversational style, it applies the best of spiritual principles in practical ways to everyday living. Whether the reader is a member of an organized religion or an independent free thinker who simple describes themselves as "spiritual" the content addresses the challenges of contemporary life with guidance that is alternately serious, humorous, insightful, and thought provoking, and above all spiritually healthy. Also included are Downey's answers to Ten Frequently Asked Questions about God, how to cope with the dehumanizing aspects of today's technology, and why the current unhealthy cultural obsession with celebrities is a dangerous exercise in false idolatry. Finally, Downey's reviews of the greatest spiritual movies of all time round out a book that is sure to provoke discussion among both believers and non-believers alike. The Ten Commandments of Spirituality is a A 21st Century Spiritual Manifesto, that provides a solid foundation for healthy living.
