New Life for Old plots the human journey from old to new, from small and inauthentic living to wholesome and authentic living, from small desires to the great longings of our souls. It is a book that is deeply rooted in human experience. The book has for some years now been a favorite of many people. They report that they come back to it again and again for spiritual inspiration. This new edition develops further the themes of the earlier work and adds new material throughout, especially regarding the spirituality/religion issue and the journey to a mindful, meditative way of life.
