Beginning with a study of down-to-earth spirituality which enables one to be rooted or grounded the author goes on to show how personal prayer plays a key role in spirituality; how it puts people in touch with their own personal power and enables them to use this power with integrity. He examines ways in which liturgical prayer can be rescued from empty formalism and given new life. He then considers the different kinds of power and of how an authentic spirituality allows power to be used not to dominate others but to enable them to put their gifts at the service of the community. This in turn leads to a lengthy examination of the central role of justice in spirituality today. Throughout the book there are guided meditations and other resource materials which can be used by groups or individuals to put the spirituality into practice.
