Six Keys to a Deeper Spiritual Life

Summary: The Keys to a more holy path in life
Review: In her book, The Catholic Challenge, Therese Cirner clearly and concisely lays out six "keys" to a deeper spiritual life. Cirner acknowledges the wisdom of the spiritual masters who have lent classic wisdom to the topic of living a holy life, but offers this book for those looking to "bridge" their own spiritual journeys to such classical writers as St. John of the Cross or Teresa of Avila.

Cirner's six keys, prayer, Scripture and spiritual reading, the sacraments, community, virtue and forgiveness, are each laid out in a chapter concluding with reflection questions and an inspirational prayer. The book could be used as a small prayer group resource, or would be excellent for individual contemplation and reflection. Additional literary references are recommended for each of the Keys, offering the reader a treasure trove of resources for the challenge of growing a deeper spiritual life.
