EXPERIENCING SPIRITUALITY
Ernest Kurtz Katherine Ketcham
Finding Meaning Through Storytelling
The long-awaited sequel to the contemporary classic, The Spirituality of Imperfection (Bantam 1993).
A great master once said, “The shortest distance between a human being and truth is a story.” In Experiencing Spirituality, Kurtz and Ketcham take readers on a journey through storytelling as a means of self-discovery.
A great master once said, “The shortest distance between a human being and truth is a story.” In Experiencing Spirituality, Kurtz and Ketcham take readers on a journey through storytelling as a means of self-discovery.
Recounting and interpreting great wisdom stories from all ages and all cultures, as well as telling many of their own, the authors shed light on such experiences as awe, wonder, humor, confusion, and forgiveness.
In story after story, seekers look to those whose lives reveal a special quality—sometimes called spirituality—and ask the masters what they must do to attain that same quality. The answer is simple: “Come, follow me, and see how I live.” Experiencing Spirituality teaches through the example of human experience.
Ernest Kurtz received his Ph.D. in the History of American Civilization from Harvard University in 1978. Over the course of his academic career, he has taught American History and the History of Religion in America at the University of Georgia and Loyola University of Chicago, and served on the faculty of the Rutgers University Summer School of Alcohol Studies and as a lecturer at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. After a brief stint as Director of Research and Education at Guest House, an alcoholism treatment facility for Catholic clergy, Kurtz retired in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Katherine Ketcham has been writing non-fiction books for over 30 years. Her books have been published in sixteen foreign languages and have sold over 1.5 million copies. She is co-founder and Executive Director of a grassroots nonprofit organization called Trilogy Recovery Community, which helps youth and their family members with alcohol and drug problems.
