The stories come from a diverse array of ninety-five Americans - both conservative and liberal Protestants, African American Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Wiccans, and people who claim no religious or spiritual proclivities -across a range that stretches from committed religious believers to the spiritually neutral. Ammerman surveys how these people talk about what spirituality is, how they seek and find experiences they deem spiritual, and whether and how religious traditions and institutions are part of their spirituallives.ReligionUnited StatesSpiritualityUnited StatesReligionUnited StatesReligionHILCCPhilosophy & ReligionHILCCNorth & South American ReligionsHILCCUnited StatesReligious life and customsElectronic books.lcshReligionSpiritualityReligionReligionPhilosophy & ReligionNorth & South American Religions306.60973Ammerman Nancy Tatom1950-1687020StDuBDSStDuBDSStDuBDSZUkPrAHLSBOOK9910816418603321Sacred stories, spiritual tribes4117210UNINA
