God help the spiritual writer
Article Abstract:
Spiritual writing has its proponents and detractors as people attempt to examine an area of human existence that is just beyond reach. Detractors cite the number of books on spiritual issues and that the majority promise quick fixes that offer little solution. Spiritual writing should examine a person's current world and how that world affects others as well. What once existed as rich literature is difficult to find today.
