Blogger responds to Moore's The Soul of Christmas

Tom Rapsas, "a blogger on issues related to everyday spirituality" shares reflections about Thomas Moore's new book, The Soul of Christmas in two blog posts with Patheos:

"Moving from the darkest of days to the light of Christmas"
8 December 2016

 "How to Become a Christmas Mystic — with One Simple Practice"
16 December 2016

Rapsas writes in the second post, "Moore points out that you don’t need to be a Christian or a member of any religion to do these things. 'You can be a natural, ordinary and unaligned mystic.' It also doesn’t mean fading away from your family and social obligations, but blending your mysticism with them by being both 'very human and very spiritual.'”
