recommended resources for deepening your spiritual journey
A word about the resources listed here: A variety of resources are listed from different perspectives (primarily from Protestant and Catholic sources). Most of them relate to the spiritual journey from a more contemplative approach to spirituality. In my own journey I've connected with different resources at different times. The resources I'm drawn to now are not the resources I was drawn to ten years ago. Perhaps you will be drawn to a few of the resources we've listed here, and if not we pray that you will find the resources you need at this time of your journey in another place.
