Volume 18, Number 3
Extreme Spirituality
"Some people have an extraordinary capacity for adventure and find their greatest awareness of God’s presence through physical exertion. Eric Liddell (“Chariots of Fire”) was such a person. Liddell says, “I believe that God made me for a purpose… but He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.” Contributors to this issue of Hungryhearts relate stories of finding a spiritual connection with God through pushing the body to extremes. At times the rigorous physical challenge is by choice, but at times it is imposed on us by unavoidable circumstances. In either case, it affords a moment of spiritual clarity and grace."

"www.spiritualbookclub.com is an on-line global community of kindred spirits who explore spirituality through books, music, discussion, and ways to get involved in changing the world for the better. It's a spiritual home on the web. . . we ask about the book, "What new insight has it given you about life?" If it is a good book, chances are it contains at least one new thing to work over in your brain about how life and your spirituality is configured. " - from site's web page.
