In Between Will and Abandonment, Robert Letters offers an exploration of spirituality, encouraging readers to adopt an independent practice rooted in introspection and growth. Inspired by a parable in the Gospel of Mark, Letters links the balance between exerting your will and surrendering preconceived thoughts to embrace the spiritual unknown. Letters acknowledges that his ideas build on the works of others, compiling the book from his personal journey. He shares this work with readers, addressing topics like religious affiliation, spiritual connection, and the interplay between human will and divine guidance. With practical insights into following spiritual guidance, independent practice, and mindful daily behavior, Letters provides readers with a framework to navigate the "mystery" of the universe.
Robert Letters's succinct chapters make this work easily digestible for even the busiest individuals, while its structure, including four dimensions for daily practice and five foundational principles, inspires spiritual action. Raised in Catholicism but not confined by it, Letters invites readers to actively focus their will, release control, and allow divine energy to work through them. The author provides a framework of five principles that he describes in an inspiring way, guiding you into spiritual action. After reading this book, you will be motivated to practice the structure he provides and allow the "mystery" to work through you. The author emphasizes aligning thoughts and actions to better serve a higher purpose, and I was inspired to start my own "gathering of flowers" as I read the text. My most important takeaway from the book will help me align my thoughts and actions to better serve the Lord. If you're ready to focus on spiritual development, you will benefit from reading Between Will and Abandonment.
