Download or read book Soul Searching : The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers written by Christian Smith Dr William R Kenan Jr Professor of Sociology University of Notre Dame and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005-01-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In innumerable discussions and activities dedicated to better understanding and helping teenagers, one aspect of teenage life is curiously overlooked. Very few such efforts pay serious attention to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of American adolescents. But many teenagers are very involved in religion. Surveys reveal that 35% attend religious services weekly and another 15% attend at least monthly. 60% say that religious faith is important in their lives. 40% report that they pray daily. 25% say that they have been "born again." Teenagers feel good about the congregations they belong to. Some say that faith provides them with guidance and resources for knowing how to live well. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in search of a new, more authentic "spirituality"? This book attempts to answer these and related questions as definitively as possible. It reports the findings of The National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest and most detailed such study ever undertaken. The NYSR conducted a nationwide telephone survey of teens and significant caregivers, as well as nearly 300 in-depth face-to-face interviews with a sample of the population that was surveyed. The results show that religion and spirituality are indeed very significant in the lives of many American teenagers. Among many other discoveries, they find that teenagers are far more influenced by the religious beliefs and practices of their parents and caregivers than commonly thought. They refute the conventional wisdom that teens are "spiritual but not religious." And they confirm that greater religiosity is significantly associated with more positive adolescent life outcomes. This eagerly-awaited volume not only provides an unprecedented understanding of adolescent religion and spirituality but, because teenagers serve as bellwethers for possible future trends, it affords an important and distinctive window through which to observe and assess the current state and future direction of American religion as a whole.

Download or read book Soul Searching written by Joe Hennessy and published by Amor Deus. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul Searching, journeys into Spirit by Fr. Joe HennessyIt is a distinct honor to write a foreword to this very engaging book authored by my friend of 54 years. We both came off the same ordination assembly line on June 8, 1963. Fr. Joe's Soul Searching: Journeys into Spirit with its many hiking metaphors, stories and images reveals a daring outer and inner exploration of Aisling: God's dream for us. It is deeply personal and autobiographical. Its style is transparent and brutally honest. It appears that Fr. Joe, the hiker, is an incurable nature mystic. Surely, this explains his love for God's book of creation. His faith experiences, related so well in these pages, are testimony a-plenty to his encounter with the Holy in Lectio Divina from the book of creation.I hope each reader will find it as engrossing, enlightening, and instructive as I did. As I read through it in one sitting, I felt like I was looking into a mirror and seeing myself with all my vulnerabilities in my own soul searching journey. I enjoyed the distillation of wisdom from Fr. Joe's life experience, and the integration of insightful and meaningful quotes from a wide range of authors. I am deeply touched and grateful for the holistic message and spirituality of this book.May all who experience the Holy through encounter with God's dream of us be enlightened by this book and be similarly blessed and come to know what it means to be the beloved of God.

Book Synopsis Thomas Merton and the Individual Witness by : David E. Orberson
Download or read book Thomas Merton and the Individual Witness written by David E. Orberson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over sixty years ago, Thomas Merton—monk, mystic, and writer—proclaimed that we are living in a post-Christian world. That is, the influence of the institutional church is in decline and the popular version of Christianity presented to society has in many ways become a caricature of itself. Since that time, the religious landscape has continued to change. Today the number of people who identify as “None,” someone with no particular religious affiliation, outnumbers the combined total of all Mainline Protestants. In addition, many popular Christian responses to our secular world are divisive and focused on fighting the culture war instead of finding ways to live the gospel. All of these religious changes are occurring in a broader post-truth culture in which facts matter less and less, and our society is increasingly divided. This book delves into these issues and introduces the life and writings of Thomas Merton, showing how he can guide Christians working to build God’s kingdom in the world today.

Book excerpt: A WORLD FULL OF HUMANS, BUT DEVOID OF LIFEDeath has finally hung up his scythe: all the souls have been gathered, the Earth just a museum piece for the machines.Now, he spends his time relaxing in the void with the one andonly machine-built soul - a soul that cannot enter paradise.All is peaceful until one soul escapes from heaven, forcing Death and his ghostlike companion on a journey that may destroy the very concept of what it means to be alive.The second novel in J. S. Wright's ever-increasing collection, Soul Searching throws a fresh perspective on the eternal philosophical questions of life, death, freewill and whether a red dress is practical attire for reaping.Whilst he has been unable to get hold of people famous enough to quote on the front cover, Julian's works have been highly recommended by his editor, at least one of his friends, and his mother.
