A Christian Life, the Journal of Love and Faith are weekly blogs that I write as part of the being40plus online magazine. In my passion to spread God's Word I've decided to put these blogs together as mini journals. I not only want to help spread God's good Word but I also desire to help others or non-believers know and understand how we as Christians should live in order to live the promised life, a better, more abundantly-filled and happier life given to us by God. But in order to obtain the fulfillment of God's promises, we must choose to surrender to His Will and completely trust in Him. He loves us abundantly, unconditionally and more importantly, His love never fails!

In today’s pluralistic world, many cultures feel a shift in the relationship of people with religious traditions. A corresponding movement is a resurgence of interest in human spirituality. This Handbook presents the views of education scholars who engage these concepts every day, in a collection of essays reflecting the international state of the discipline. Out of these rises a vision for the emergence of a just and peaceful world.

Nancy Tatom Ammerman examines the stories Americans tell of their everyday lives, from dinner table to office and shopping mall to doctor's office, about the things that matter most to them and the routines they take for granted, and the times and places where the everyday and ordinary meet the spiritual. In addition to interviews and observation, Ammerman bases her findings on a photo elicitation exercise and oral diaries, offering a window into the presence and absence of religion and spirituality in ordinary lives and in ordinary physical and social spaces. The stories come from a diverse array of ninety-five Americans -- both conservative and liberal white Protestants, African American Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Wiccans, and people who claim no religious or spiritual proclivities -- across a range that stretches from committed religious believers to the spiritually neutral. Ammerman surveys how these people talk about what spirituality is, how they seek and find experiences they deem spiritual, and whether and how religious traditions and institutions are part of their spiritual lives.
