Carol Kline's new book, Streetwise Spirituality: 28 Days to Inner Fitness and Everyday Enlightenment, is an intellectually stimulating book with fresh ideas about how to bring spiritually down to Earth and relate to it in today's lifestyle. Kline teaches from the premise that Earth is a school and everything is spiritual if you know how to look at it.

When you learn how to bring the inner and outer states of mind into alignment, you'll be able to see "Earth school" through a spiritual lens rather than live trying to conform to everyone else's expectations. You'll learn how to decipher between something bad for you versus something good for you. For example, if you're in an abusive relationship, you need to know what you and the abuser are getting out of the relationship - and how to turn it around.

Streetwise Spirituality discusses what love is and isn't and how to find love and nurture it so that you'll have deep and lasting relationships rather than loving for the wrong reasons. Kline explains clearly and succinctly how grief is misunderstood and how it can actually become a valuable emotion in our lives.

Some chapters in Kline's book contain lessons and exercises that you'll find easy to adapt into your everyday life. Streetwise Spirituality will become a life-manual that you'll refer to again and again as questions pop into your mind. There are chapters on difficult relationships, feelings, professional and personal disasters and true stories that will put a new spin on the blame and shame game we play every day.

Kline's book, Streetwise Spirituality is a 28-day workbook that teaches you the fundamental skills you need to plow through life's constant hits of disappointment and frustration and how to make lemons into lemonade by discovering your own spiritual center of gravity. You'll find that your deep source of wisdom comes from "the place where ordinary events take on extraordinary meaning."

As you turn the pages of Streetwise Spirituality, you'll begin to understand how "invisible" emotions like anxiety, frustration and stress can be used for inner growth and abundance. You'll be better able to grasp why you're experiencing difficulties, pain and disappointments and learn how to develop patience and perseverance to see it through.

As Carol Kline says about Streetwise Spirituality: 28 Days to Inner Fitness and Everyday Enlightenment, the book is "the owner's manual you'll wish you had from birth."
