Download Grounded: Finding God in the World - A Spiritual Revolution AudioBook Free
The headlines are clear: Religious beliefs is on the drop in America as many folks leave behind traditional spiritual practices. In this particular follow-up to her critically acclaimed publication Christianity After Religious beliefs, Diana Butler Bass argues that what is apparently a drop actually signals a major change in how people understand God. The faraway God of normal faith has given way to a more close sense of the sacred with us on earth. This shift is at the heart of any spiritual trend that surrounds us - and that is challenging religious, politics, and social institutions. Grounded explores this ethnical flip as Bass unpacks how people have found new spiritual floor by learning about and embracing God everywhere in the world around us: in the soil, this inflatable water, the sky, in our homes and neighborhoods, and in the global commons. Beliefs is no more a subject of mountaintop experience or institutional practice; instead, people are joining with God through the surroundings in which we live. Grounded tutorials listeners through our modern day spiritual habitat as it points out the many ways in which people experience a God who animates creation and community.
