Review
This is a marvellous book full of practical wisdom and helpful suggestions of how to nurture spiritual growth in everyday life. Connecting the best of the traditional religious practices of different faiths with some of the newest insights of modern therapeutic practice and a scientific worldview, William Bloom shows how we can become vessels for the energy of spirit. Truly holistic and inclusive, this book comes out of a lifetime's practice and experience, and skillfully conveys the transformative power of spirituality in human life' Ursula King, Emeritus Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Bristol and a Vice-President of the World Congress of Faiths (‘A really remarkable synthesis.

Everyone who calls themselves "spiritual" should read this book so they know what they are talking about.

Format:Paperback
Having seen the quote "a genius" on the front cover I started reading this book with high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Its a well written, relevant text containing wise words and much practical advice relevant to todays lifestyles. Its easy to read with engaging stories and describes real situations which most readers will easily identify with. The Power of Modern Spirituality encourages an open minded, open hearted and inclusive approach to spirituality and invites everyone to rediscover how they can best connect with the awe and wonder of existence. Brilliant!

This is a great book. As usual William Bloom explains concepts in a down-to-earth way which makes them really simple and accessible. Despite this simplicity however its content is well-researched, intelligent, comprehensive and deeply thought-provoking. I think it has much to offer both those completely new to spirituality and those with more experience. I have c.20 years spiritual practice and enquiry, and it gave me a wealth of new perspectives and awareness. Particularly helpful for me were new insights into different aproaches to spiritual practice and the role of values in spirituality and how this translates into service so that we can make a difference in the world not just in our own lives. Buy it! (And recommend it to your friends).

I found The Power of Modern Spirituality empowering, because it gave me confidence in my own insights into truth, God, whatever. Priests etc may be useful as guides and gurus, but are no longer essential go-betweens. I was brought up in a conventional C of E family, with church every Sunday, and spiritually my religion never touched me, it was merely what one did - prayers were always boring supplication or boring grovel (We are not worthy, we are not worthy), though sometimes sermons were mentally stimulating. However, I always loved the silence and beauty of being alone in old churches. The wordy and traditional type of prayer I was taught is so utterly different from the type of meditation demonstrated in this book, and the way it silently touches the wonder of the universe. So, thank you, William, for bringing what was considered whacky and new agey into a wider mainstream, in such a practical manner too.

uninspiring
I found this book uninspiring. Perhaps this was the wrong time for me to read this book. It seemed to me to be 'out there' and not what I could relate to in my everyday life.
