An invitation to reassess personal relationships with Christianity through spiritual practice James Ellis' carefully considered book encourages spirit to be placed at the forefront of religious practice, rather than any dogma, in order to fully understand the depth of belief. This reverses the approach to the Christian Holy Trinity - of the Father first, the Son second and the Holy Spirit third - which has always been most widely taught. Following the author's own turbulent entanglement with religion - from the reciting the Lord's prayer without understanding as child, to early adulthood as a New Atheist, to finding God through open prayer in later life - A Call to God provides a guiding framework for a spiritual approach to Christianity. A Call to God takes the form of a journey for readers to embark upon. The first half follows the author's own journey, especially in relation to the modern mindset of the 21st century which has resulted in a decrease of religious spirituality. It also addresses the language of Christianity in a practical and clear manner, as well examples of simple places for readers to consider beginning their own journeys. The second half then investigates deeper themes of Christianity, while always providing examples on how to connect them with daily use. The book also includes ten simple exercises readers can use to get in touch with the spirit on a deeper level. A Call to God is a powerful message to consider one's place in the modern, materialist world through reassessment of our own individual spiritual belief.
