Inside this book is a deep, personal journey to finding your very own, individual spirituality. It is a pathway that can be travelled by followers of all faiths as well as those who don’t follow a religion at all. Spiritual practice isn’t onesize-fits-all and it doesn’t need to be defined by prescribed structures of worship or belief in deities.
