Richard Anderson is a fresh and distinct voice in the field of practical spirituality. Grounded in the Christian tradition with a sensitive appreciation of scripture, he combines this approach with a knowledge and experiential understanding of the unitive path with its emphasis on psychological subtlety, practical mysticism and universality. In each of the forty chapters that make up the book, Richard skillfully presents ways in which we can explore the key theme and mine its meaning on many levels. Using an honest, natural and conversational style of writing, yet one that is impeccable in its precision, he invites us to reason and contemplate the theme, and then experience it directly through beautiful guided meditations and affirmations. Richard is gifted in his ability to share with clarity and compassion. I am pleased to write a foreword for this book and celebrate his achievement in bringing so much spiritual wisdom to all those seeking a spirituality that embraces and unifies; one that reminds us that love prevails and that our prime and joyous task is to be co-creators with the Divine Spirit. ~ Rev.
