Endorsements: Sheldrake catches your attention with his adept exploration of the intimate connection between desire, even sexual desire, and holiness. --JKeith J. Egan, Professor of Theology, Saint Mary's College and the University of Notre Dame He helps us understand that when we realize that our heart's longing is for God, we realize that our desires are not enemies but friends of spiritual life and growth. --JJohn S. Dunnes, CSC, author of Love's Minds, Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame . . . Magnificently articulates a God and a spirituality characterized by passion, desire, vulnerability, and eros. This broad, accessible, yet profound, treatment of desire is a welcome addition to the literature on spiritual growth. --Joan Timmerman, author of Sexuality and Spiritual Growth, Professor of Theology, College of Saint Catherine Author Biography: Philip Sheldrake has taught and written extensively about Christian spirituality and spirituality more generally. He is Senior Research Fellow, Cambridge Theological Federation and Honorary Professor, University of Wales. His many works include Spirituality and Theology and Spirituality and History.

Befriending Our Desires

Religion & Spirituality

Darton,Longman & Todd Ltd.

<p>Philip Sheldrake explores the roots and context of Celtic Christianity, its choice of particular landscapes and sacred sites, the ideal of enclosure and religious stability, the theme of pilgrimage, its strong sense of boundaries, and its reverence for the sacred in nature. He also seeks to explain the lure of Celtic spirituality for many church people today who are disillusioned with the institutional church and seek an alternative religious sensibility with strong roots and a capacity for wonder and surprise. Excellent for a parish or group study.</p>
