Publisher's Note
"Finding Your Religion" is an inspiring guide for those cultural seekers feeling at odds with religion but in want of spiritual awareness and fulfillment. In clear, thoughtful prose, Scotty McLennan offers those "floating at sea without a spiritual port" a way to express their spirituality by finding meaning in traditional religion, whether by developing the faith they once took for granted or discovering a new and different faith. McLennan illustrates six different stages of spiritual development -- magic, reality, dependence, independence, interdependence, and unity -- with compelling examples of people from all major world religions, and shows how each stage influences our beliefs and enhances the experience of our spiritual transformation. "Starting with my own experiences in college in the 1960s and early 1970s, I have learned a great deal about how people lose and find their own religion. I've come to see it very much as an ongoing process that never stops. For many people, the faith they grew up with loses its meaning during adolescence. Others who never had any faith in childhood begin exploring religion for the first time in adolescence or young adulthood. I've come to realize that there are identifiable stages of spiritual development that people go through, no matter what their religious tradition is or isn't. Just as we grow emotionally and intellectually over the years, so we grow spiritually, if we allow ourselves. -- from the book Tufts University Chaplain Scotty McLennan (the inspiration for Doonesbury's Reverend Scot Sloan) offers an indispensable guidebook to those seeking a new spiritual path or wishing to reconnect to the religion of their youth. He reassures anyone at a spiritual crossroads--those who have become disillusioned with or even abandoned the religion of their youth--that finding a relevant and fulfilling spirituality is a process of understanding one's place in any of six universal stages of faith: Magic, Reality, Dependence, Independence, Interdependence, and Unity. He offers signposts and checklists for determining where readers are own their own spiritual journey, and for helping them grow and develop. By recognizing a progression of steps toward a faith of one's own choosing, McLennan explains, one can more fully open one's soul to its spiritual destiny. Scotty McLennan shows people at a spiritual crossroads how to reconnect with a faith they may have left behind--or how to discover and integrate a new one that feels right for them.
