“A Best Spiritual Book of the Year” ―Spirituality & Practice

“Housden (Ten Poems to Change Your Life) offers a nuanced and well-rounded guide to having a faith while remaining detached from specific religious traditions.A nondenominational approach to life makes it easier to accept the impermanence of all situations, and to let go of the idea of 'practicing' faith, instead simply experiencing it. Housden is a gentle and a moving guide, asking readers to not only bow down and accept the joy and darkness of their nature, but also to trust inner promptings and to be faithful to humanity.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Roger Housden has done the seemingly impossible: he has written a bible for the "spiritual but not religious". Housden's first six chapters offer a road map to how to trust the knowing, the mystery, the darkness, the joy, the changes, and the imperfection of life. The final four explore the power of letting go, finding beauty, cultivating kindness, and keeping faith with the human spirit.” ―Spirituality and Health

“With passion, clarity, and wisdom, Roger Housden offers ways to develop a personal spirituality disentangled from religiosity. A powerfully moving book.” ―Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom

“The genius Wittgenstein, about a century ago mused, 'I can imagine a religion with no doctrines, so that nothing is spoken.' Roger Housden imagines the end of -isms. A great relief for the whole community. I love all of Roger's healing, enlivening, and heart-opening work.” ―Coleman Barks, author of Rumi: The Big Red Book

“Beautiful and wise. Keeping the Faith Without a Religion nourishes the heart and brings light to the spirit." -Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness "Roger Housden has made a wonderful contribution to spiritual literature for years. And I bet if our senses were more refined, we could hear heaven, and Buddha too, wildly applauding Keeping the Faith Without a Religion. Indeed. Keep rocking, RH. Keep rockin!” ―Daniel Ladinsky, bestselling Penguin author of Poetry --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
