Spanish translation of the best selling Coming Down the Mountain You have just finished a retreat. You feel close to God, and are eager to take your new energy and fresh Christian perspective out into the world and live the kind of life you so deeply want to live. This book is written to help you do that. It is a follow-up to your retreat, designed to keep that experience alive and influential in your life. Every day for six weeks it offers you a reflection on some aspect of Christian living, a Scripture passage for your prayer, and a task to carry other people, and the world. This book addresses the common struggles men and women face as they try to put a Christian vision into practice. You will find here not only suggestions for deepening your relationship with God in prayer, but also ideas for dealing with some of the troublesome areas of life not often addressed in spiritual books. Loneliness, low self-esteem, difficulty relationships, sexuality, grief, and painful memories are discussed. The difficult questions of why God sometimes seems so far away and why some awful things happen to us in the world are pondered. Other topics reflected on are: the will of God, the meaning of play, peace, and joy.
