Exploring Indigenous Spirituality: The Kutchi Kohli Christians of Pakistan

World Religions

“Every now and then a new book is described as ‘groundbreaking.’ This descriptor is certainly true of Mansingh’s book. Never before has a member of the Kutchi Kohli people in Pakistan written a book about their people. And what a book it is, blending the academic rigor of the author’s spirituality studies, her authentic and relational self-presence, and the voices of her Christian people to break the silence preventing them from announcing themselves, in their splendor and their struggles, to a wider world.”

Growing Through Grief

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In the 1960s spirituality took a democratic turn. Now what was happening in every state of life and in the stages of everyone’s life from childhood to old age was worthy of attention. Margery Buckingham illustrates this welcome development in the field with her fine book written with a spirituality lens about her life as a widow and her study of the lives of other widows.”

Spirituality in the Selfie Culture of Instagram

“In this original study the author highlights how Instagram is indeed a vehicle for spirituality, both secular and religious. She also gives many fine suggestions for further research as well as for how Instagram and social media in general can serve both spiritual seekers and those offering spirituality resources. Public space is now being defined by the smart phone, which can make it a site of spiritual communication with the whole world in our hands.”
