The Active Life: A Spirituality of Work, Creativity, and Caring by Palmer, Parker J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780787949341.

The Active Life is Parker J. Palmers deep and graceful exploration of a spirituality for the busy, sometimes frenetic lives many of us lead. Telling evocative stories from a variety of religious traditions, including Taoist, Jewish, and Christian, Palmer shows that the spiritual life does not mean abandoning the world but engaging it more deeply through life-giving action. He celebrates both the problems and potentials of the active life, revealing how much they have to teach us about ourselves, the world, and God.
