Befriending Our Desires

In this book, Philip Sheldrake invites the reader to reflect on the nature of sexuality and human desire and to discover their relationship to prayer and spiritual growth. This is a revised version of his innovative exploration of sexuality and human desire and their place in spirituality, which was first released in 1994. As Sheldrake points out, sexual desire can be a spiritual experience. Indeed, he argues convincingly that learning to deal with our desires is essential to our spiritual development, for ‘desire’, ‘yearning’ and ‘longing’ are inseparable form the search for God. In Befriending our Desires Sheldrake explains how discovering and integrating our deepest desires can help reveal a deeper understanding not only of ourselves but also of God. PHILIP SHELDRAKE is the highly acclaimed author of Spirituality and Theology and Spirituality and History, works that have become standard texts wherever they are used. He is the William Leech Professor of Applied Theology at the University of Durham
