Synopsis
This book is for anyone interested in a spiritual life within the context of parenting. It is a refreshingly honest account of how parents can grow spiritually among the everyday experiences of life with children. The author, Sara Burns, is both a mother and a Buddhist practitioner. After twenty years of research and evaluation for charities and voluntary organisations, first with as a communications officer with Christian Aid and more recently with Triangle Consulting (which she is a co-founder) Sara turned her enquiring mind, her research and evaluation experience to these questions: How can parents have a rich and fulfilling spiritual life amid the juggling inherent in raising children, especially combined with work? What are the opportunities and how can we make the most of them? What are the difficulties and how can they be turned around or simply got through with minimum harm? Through interviews with Buddhist parents and a great deal of analysis, reflection and looking at her own life, Sara has developed a body of knowledge which seeks to address these questions. The result is an accessible book that goes well beyond anecdote to provide a practical framework for spiritual growth within the context of family life.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is the second volume in our new "What Buddhism can offer" series which is looking at how Buddhism can help us in our daily lives. It is unique in that it is not about being a good parent but about spiritual growth through parenting. Of course, positive loving parenting is hopefully a consequence of this but this is not the primary focus of the book. As alluded to above, the focus of the book is the parents' spiritual growth and well-being as opposed to being directly child-focused which is something of a new departure. It is easy to connect with based on numerous interviews with personal stories and experiences. It includes extracts and reflections for fathers and also for parents with teenagers as opposed to focusing solely on mothers with very young children, which is often the limitation of similar books. It is practical and experience based. It is broadly relevant across religions and spiritual beliefs - anyone with an interest in spiritual growth could engage and connect with the book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001319723
