A guide for leading an adult spiritual study group for The Active Life, the inspirational self-help volume from an award-winning writer and teacher.

The Active Life is Parker J. Palmer’s deep and graceful exploration of 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.
