PEACEFUL SOULS

The writer Maja Peter was convinced that neither belief nor God had any relevance to her life; she felt no need for either. During yoga classes and meditation sessions she experienced calm, humility, gratitude and a sense of connectedness with others. Her growing fascination with these feelings led her to study Christianity and spirituality. She discovered that the entity Christians call “God” had always been a part of her life, even though she’d never been aware of it. This disconnect, she realised, was caused by the language and tenets of Christian theology, which had always felt alien and irrelevant to her. This book offers an approach to spirituality for those who can’t relate to religion, sets out the author’s understanding of God and follows her search for spiritual fulfilment outside the Christian church.
