Why “Spiritual but not Religious”?
The fastest growing “religious” movement today is among those who claim to be “spiritual but not religious.” They avoid dogmatism, shun institutionalism, practice a variety of spiritualities and draw from many wells. Yet Mercadante’s research shows they do have beliefs and are thinking deeply about “the big questions.” How did this movement start and what can we learn from it? What are the spiritual needs of these determined seekers? And how can they find serenity, grow spiritual roots, and experience fulfillment?

Spirituality & Addiction Recovery
What is addiction, really? Some think it is a medical problem. Others think it is essentially a spiritual illness. Still others insist it is about personal choice.

A better understanding of the core principles of addiction recovery can become the catalyst for true spiritual liberation!
