‘Spirituality’ is in the news today as more and more people claim to be ‘spiritual’ but not ‘religious.’ Rolls-Royce Spirituality is about being spiritual and religious through the ideals of Christian faith. Aspiring toward Christian spirituality is like hoping to drive a Rolls-Royce automobile someday. To own one is to possess the best car in the world–the dream of every car enthusiast. Attaining ‘Rolls-Royce spirituality’ is living near to the ideals of the Christian life as taught by Saint Paul in his list of the ‘fruits of the Spirit’ in Galatians 5:22ff. The list includes words familiar to everyone–love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Exploring their inner spiritual meaning reveals a deeper understanding that goes far beyond mundane faith. This volume explores these understandings and provides practical skills that make ‘Rolls-Royce spirituality’ not only a desire, but also a real-life possibility for those who wish to transcend their mundane Christian faith.
