About Original Faith
Paul Maurice Martin's Original Faith is an original approach to understanding key concepts in religion and spirituality. These include love, faith and distinguishing the spiritual aspect of inner life from the psychological. Paul's approach is highly experiential; it neither propounds nor rejects any belief system. His style is literate and at times literary to evoke first-hand spiritual passion and awareness in readers.
Original Faith carefully conceptualizes spiritual life and experience, including obstacles to spiritual growth, with clear and precise insights that promote transformation in themselves. Simply read chapter one, for example, to find out exactly what love is. In addition, the book is filled with practical guidance to help promote the reader's transition from an identity based on ego to one based on love and beyond.
The book targets a general readership and will be of particular interest to readers from Judeo-Christian backgrounds. Yet because Paul draws on his heritage for its powers of inclusion rather than exclusivity, Original Faith's non-doctrinal approach facilitates dialog across traditions and opens possibilities for interfaith communication among all progressives, both religious and secular.
