Description
An invitation to reassess personal relationships with Christianity through spiritual practice
James Ellis' carefully considered book encourages spirit to be placed at the forefront of religious practice, rather than any dogma, in order to encourage true depth of belief.
Ellis' approach reverses what has been most widely taught in Christianity: the Holy Trinity, which places the Father first, the Son second and the Holy Spirit third. Following Ellis' own turbulent entanglement with religion, A Call to God provides a guiding framework for a spiritual approach to Christianity.
A Call to God embodies a journey, allowing readers to embark on their own exploration of Christianity. The book initially focuses on Ellis' own religious journey, especially in relation to the modern mindset of the 21st century which has resulted in a decrease of religious spirituality. It unpicks the often closed and complex language of Christianity in a clear and practical prose, providing examples of simple places for readers to consider beginning their own journeys.
Ellis illuminates and investigates various motifs found in Christianity - such as grace, humility, the afterlife - and suggests examples on how to connect them with daily use. The book also includes ten basic exercises readers can use to get in touch with the spirit on a deeper level.
A Call to God is a powerful message to consider one's place in the modern, materialist world through reassessment of our own individual spiritual belief.
