In one of Bill Mccracken’s books on mindfulness and spirituality, Spiritual Warfare Through Christian Unity, the author details how everyone is on a spiritual journey. Although this is taken separately and at different paces, they all lead to the same destination: spiritual awakening.

He highlights Christians’ ever-persisting debacle toward salvation. In a world filled with impulses and temptations, where people can easily be entrapped in their worldly desires and driven to do anything to achieve these, their desire for spiritual freedom also lies. To truly achieve their deliverance, they have to overcome these seductions and choose to live the life meant for them. This is how the journey of spiritual awakening is commonly defined.
