Description
What makes us open to mystery, to glimpses of the Transcendent in our daily lives? The power of the imagination, according to Sandra Levy -- a power that has been seriously depleted in today's postmodern culture. To address and redress this situation, Levy first explores how the imagination expresses itself -- through ritual, music, poetry, art, and story -- and then focuses on specific practices that can exercise and enrich our spiritual capacity, thus opening us up to divine encounter. show more Imagination and the Journey of Faith will speak to both those outside of a religious tradition and those in faith communities who wish to strengthen and deepen the imaginative power of their spiritual lives. show lessTags

I love Levy's conviction that imagination is absolutely fundamental to the life of faith. We don't hear this enough! But I want this concept explored more fully than she seems able. Much of this book looks through the lens of artists creating in response to sacred experiences. But what about actually engaging with the sacred through the creative process? What about considering our life choices a work of creation and therefore an act of faith? I want MORE.
