Cell Phone Spirituality: What Your Cell Phone Can Teach You About Life and God. - Paperback

by Kevin Goodrich O. P. (Author)

Some books just analyze and separate. This one synthesizes and puts back together things that never should have been separated--while fully recognizing the busyness and endless options of our lives. Trust Kevin Goodrich to be a solid and very creative spiritual guide! Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M. Center for Action and Contemplation Albuquerque, New Mexico Canon Goodrich offers in Cell Phone Spirituality a simple, yet not simplistic, primer on the Christian spiritual life. His creative approach applies incarnational theological insights to the circumstances of everyday life. Those interested in promoting the ministry of the laity in the world and the concept of discipleship will find it a useful tool. The Rt. Rev. Michael G. Smith Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota Through Father Goodrich's eyes, I could see how items such as cell phones that I have found as distractions can be seen as means of connecting us both to each other and to God. Cell Phone Spirituality rings true to me as it offers practical suggestions on how one can talk to God in our 24/7 techno savvy culture. Becky Garrison Senior Contributing Editor, The Wittenburg Door I found Cell Phone Spirituality to be a fun read with a modern twist on how to stay connected to your spirituality and to God, especially in our fast paced world! I really like how Goodrich designed the book to be used for personal growth, or for small group discussions. Can't wait to share it! Stacey Reid Busy Mother of Five A book for anyone who wants to grow spiritually and become closer to God.

Author Biography

The Rev. Dr. Kevin Goodrich, O.P.A., is a friar under life vows in the Anglican Order of Preachers (aka "The Dominicans"). He is known for his sense of humor, engaging preaching style, and ability to relate spiritual concepts to the everyday challenges of life. As a child, Father Goodrich had a dream that birthed a hunger to know God experientially. This dream led to the mystics and monastics, which led him to a commitment to Jesus Christ and the Church. Besides a good laugh, he enjoys getting outdoors and listening to the music of Dean Martin. He is the author of the book, "Plugging into God's Story: A Practical Introduction to Reading and Understanding the Bible." You can learn more about his ministry at http: //fathergoodrich.com
