This timeless book offers a gently challenging daily habit, which leads to renewal of spirit and mind. Coming Alive features – Brief readings, about 10 minutes per day – Undated readings, so readers can determine their own pattern of practice – Spiritual depth and wisdom from ancient and contemporary sources – Foreword by Brian McLaren From the Foreword: “Steve Harper’s new book beautifully focuses in on the real core of the spiritual life: Not dogma, not rules and regulations, not duties or guilt, not pressure or obligation … but life, life to the full, what I like to call aliveness.” –Brian McLaren
