"The interviews and analysis in "Living Spirit, Living Practice" plumb the depths of spiritual practice and experience. Ruth Frankenberg simultaneously addresses the greater issues of religious identity, the meaning of 'spirit, ' and the nature of the spiritual journey. This book makes visible the larger presence of Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism, which are now helping to alter the American religious landscape.--Kenneth K. Tanaka, coeditor of "The Faces of Buddhism in America"
