Reseña del editor

Many books on spirituality seem to envisage it as a skill, a technique, a discipline, a therapy or an experience. But spirituality is much more than these things. According to Andrew Nugent it is the slow-release miracle, the ongoing creative work of the Spirit, wherein we come to truly exist. It is a life, which the Holy Spirit progressively creates within us; a profound attitude of soul; a commitment in love to God. In "The Slow Release Miracle", Andrew Nugent provides readers with a roadmap for traversing the three stages of spiritual awakening: points of departure (an awakening to the dimensions and dynamics of Christian spiritual life); vantage points (a growth in wonder for the many gifts of the Spirit in the Church and in the world.); and, points of arrival (spiritual maturity, which enables us to go gently into the night, unafraid, with joy and hope). The author points out that there will always be a need to celebrate God's ''age-old beauty" which, in the words of St. Augustine, is "so old - and yet so new." The human spirit unfolding is a participation in God's beauty, God's work of art.
