A great master once said, “The shortest distance between a human being and truth is a story.” In Experiencing Spirituality, Katherine Ketcham and Ernest Kurtz take readers on a journey through storytelling as a means of self-discovery. Recounting and interpreting great wisdom stories from all ages and all cultures, as well as telling many of their own, the authors shed light on such experiences as awe, wonder, humor, confusion, and forgiveness.
“The inspiring storytellers’ guide to who we are as humans and how we can live the reality of our dreams along the journey of an unpredictable life.” — William Moyers, NY Times bestselling author of Broken
In story after story, seekers look to those whose lives reveal a special quality—sometimes called spirituality—and ask the masters what they must do to attain that same quality. The answer is simple: “Come, follow me, and see how I live.” Experiencing Spirituality teaches through the example of human experience
ABOUT KATHY KETCHAM
Katherine “Kathy” Ketcham, started writing about addiction. She got hooked. The more research she did and the more she wrote about the subject, and the more impassioned she became. Katherine Ketcham has coauthored fifteen books, eleven on the subject of drugs, addiction, and recovery. Her books have sold more than 1.3 million copies.
Kathy founded Trilogy Recovery Community, a grassroots, nonprofit organization in Walla Walla, WA in 2004 –whose mission is to help youth stay clean and sober. She served as Executive Director for two years and then returned to my writing career but stayed on as part-time Family Support Coordinator.
Educating and supporting families through family support groups and individual meetings is an absolutely essential piece to helping youth, for families often have no idea what they are dealing with when their child starts using alcohol or other drugs, grades plummet, friends change, legal trouble, personality is completely altered, attitude sucks (sorry but true). F-bomb is flying all over the place. Parents think, “Maybe it’s hormones,” or “bad friends” or a mental health disorder and few health care practitioners suspect AOD involvement so it’s a long road to getting the right care.
