About this product

Product Information

I Am Not Perfect is a simple statement of profound truth, the first step toward understanding the human condition, for to deny your essential imperfection is to deny yourself and your own humanity. The spirituality of imperfection, steeped in the rich traditions of the Hebrew prophets and Greek thinkers, Buddhist sages and Christian disciples, is a message as timeless as it is timely. This insightful work draws on the wisdom stories of the ages to provide an extraordinary wellspring of hope and inspiration to anyone thirsting for spiritual growth and guidance in these troubled times. Who are we? Why so we so often fall short of our goals for ourselves and others? By seeking to understand our limitations and accept the inevitably of failure and pain, we being to ease the hurt and move toward a greater sense of serenity and self-awareness. The Spirituality Of Imperfection brings together stories from many spiritual and philosophical paths, weaving past traditions into a spirituality and a new way of thinking and living that works today. It speaks so anyone who yearns to find meaning within suffering. Beyond theory and technique, inside this remarkable book you will find a new way of thinking, a way of living that enables a truly human existence.

  • The Perfection of THE SPIRITUALITY OF IMPERFECTION

    I love this book! I bought it on the recommendation of a friend and am so glad I did! The chapter on Forgiveness is unbelievable. The influences of Alcoholics Anonymous create a human feel to this book that other "self-help" books lack. I feel I can come to terms with my own imperfections, that I am on a journey to make myself whole and can see myself as a human be-ing AND a human do-ing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to do a little searching, is interested in the human condition, is in a Twelve Step program or just wishes to read a great book peppered with great ancient stories that illuminate the meaning of life.

  • Deep reading

    This is some very deep material. I can only take it in small doses if I want to absorb what he is saying.
