ISBN: 9781577314370.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn A Monk in the World, Teasdale explores what Griffiths’ charge has meant for him — to live as a monk outside the monastery, to integrate teachings from the world’s religions with his own Catholic training, to combine his vigorous spiritual practice with the necessities of making a living and pursuing a course of social justice in a big American city—as well as how readers can find their own spiritual path amidst the rigors of everyday life. Along the way, Teasdale explores the real world topics of friendship; time, work, and money; the problem and opportunity of the homeless; a contemplative understanding of suffering; the struggle to promote personal and social change; as well as the as the role of the church and nature in building spiritual understanding.\n\nBuilding on the success and insights of his first book, The Mystic Heart, Teasdale gives a compelling glimpse of the unique spiritual path he has followed, and how everyone can find their own internal monastery and bring spiritual practice into their busy lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952791416885,"sku":"ByrdShop_1577314379","price":25.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781577314370_fb6bcbf4-3f94-43b7-8531-5296f9fae5ee.jpg?v=1778636090","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-monk-in-the-world-cultivating-a-spiritual-life-9781577314370","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
