Notes to a Friend is a book for people whose spiritual journey takes them outside of a structured religious context. Scriptural references that are cherished by many Christians, have no meaning for a large number of people but increasingly these same people are attending workshops, retreats and days of reflection. They are outside religious structures, and are likely to remain so, but are all seeking maps for the journey. The author has clothed the word of God with new flesh. This book borrows from centuries of Christian devotion but leaves out the "church' language that sounds alien to many.
