We are today constantly confronted
with insights into spirituality claiming to be new. It is difficult
to know which are truly original without an understanding of Western
spiritual traditions.
This reading list includes material quoted and otherwise referred
to in "The Richest of Fare"
by Phyllis Strupp, as well as other works that can be especially
helpful in learning more about the physical and spiritual underpinnings
of our world.
The spiritual essence of the Old and New Testaments is most easily
accessed through the following three books of the Bible: the Book
of Psalms, the Gospel of Mark, and the Book of James (NIV versions).
