For many people, the religion of their childhood was left behind in young adulthood, as if just another childhood fantasy. But with the prospect of marriage and raising children, many begin to feel a need for spiritual grounding in religious ritual and community. Phil Catalfo shows just how some parents have succeeded in finding their spiritual bearings and in involving their children in a spiritual life. He gives concrete examples of people practicing a wide variety of faiths. Some return to the mainstream traditions of their youth while incorporating other traditions such as Vedanta and Native American spiritualism. Others become full-fledged members of such religions as Buddhism, Mahikari, and Neo-paganism. A journalist specializing in spiritual issues, Catalfo covers his topic with knowledge and empathy, and also suggests tips for promoting family spirituality and finding one's own spiritual path.
