There are few types of
writing that are as personal as writing about one’s beliefs or
spiritual experiences. Unlike
fiction where a
writer can hide behind imagination and creativity or technical non-fiction where the author can remain emotionally unavailable, the author of spiritual material must share him or herself fully with their readers in order to give them insight into the literature or an understanding of how this material pertains their life. Writing Spiritual Books emphasizes a strong author-reader connection. Such a bond is built through the writer being genuine, describing life events that are appropriate to the topic, and writing about what they really know and have experienced fro themselves. Beyond these important aspects, the author of spiritual works, like any other writer, must tailor his or her organized, well written text to
suit his or her audience’s
needs, wants, and desires. I found the information provided in this
Book to suit my needs and address my concerns while making me feel like I was having a good conversation with a beloved mentor and friend.
