THE CORE OF SPIRITUALITY

JOHN BRADSHAW

2 Hour Audiobook Lecture on CD

THE CORE OF SPIRITUALITY is one of acclaimed theologian, philosopher, and New York Times Best Selling Author, John Bradshaw’s most powerful lectures. In this series, John Bradshaw brilliantly weaves together a core of spirituality using a vast array of philosophical and theological points of view that brings hope to listeners. In this moving lecture, John discusses the ancient tradition of spirituality--one that is rooted in natural shame which is the innate affect that lets us know we are limited and that we are imperfect beings…that we are human. We come to realize that we do not need to pursue the culturally accepted norms of perfectionism that create toxic shame.

John Bradshaw believes the present spiritual crisis has been precipitated by certain culturally accepted norms of perfectionism. These norms create toxic shame, because as perfectly imperfect beings, we can never measure up to the norms of perfectionism.  John sees hope in the 12-Step Movement which has revived an ‘ancient spirituality of imperfection.' John Bradshaw illustrates how healthy shame, an awareness of our limits, is crucial for us to function and is the very source of our spirituality.

This series, THE CORE OF SPIRITUALITY with John Bradshaw, is recommended for personal, academic and public libraries and those searching for a revolutionary theory and the amalgamation of philosophy and theology to bring hope to listeners interested in discovering their depth of spirituality and how it can guide them in their life.
