What People are Saying About This
"Roy H. May Jr. provides us a profound book on the intersection of ethics and spirituality, which is made accessible so all can live purposely, constructively, and joyfully. His book leads us down a path where a deeper understanding can be uncovered concerning our relationship with God and our fellow sojourners on the road toward justice. May gifts us with a how-to book on drawing nearer to a more liberating existence."
Miguel de la Torre, Professor of Social Ethics, Iliff School of Theology
"What a breath of fresh air it is to learn from Roy May that spirituality and ethics are fundamentally about building convivial community! His deeply communal yet clearly personal approach to ethics and spirituality express a welcome and wise word. He offers exercises for personal or group use that are quite concrete and significantly connected to today's issues and concerns. Accessibly written, this book will be helpful for small groups, adult classes, and retreat settings."
Tex Sample, Emeritus Professor of Ethics, Church, and Society, Saint Paul School of Theology
