No Problem: Turning the Next Corner in Your Spiritual Life
About this ebook
For Robert Wicks, forward motion in the spiritual life is "no problem." All it takes is the right perspective and a little bit of knowledge--both of which he provides through his book's three-part structure: twenty lessons, three doorways, and thirty daily exercises. Wicks's twenty lessons are bite-sized and practical, and he shows how the two great commandments (love God, love others) and the parable of the Good Samaritan form doorways to spiritual riches. In part three, Wicks provides the tools and coaching for readers to conduct their own inner workshops. In these thirty spiritual exercises, Wicks invites his readers to acknowledge, accept, and start where they are, employing simple practices and assuring that God's grace will carry them around the next spiritual corner.
