Spiritual Living—Five Times a Year

Filed under: Trends, Public Libraries — Heather McCormack @ 10:45 am

A year ago, several of us Book Review editors were sweating bullets over a one-time supplement called Spiritual Living, LJ’s first concerted effort to size up the growing market of self-helpish titles with a spiritual angle (Raya Kuzyk defines the market better in “Brave New Genre”).

To keep up with the rainbow of, e.g., Jewish child rearing and Buddhist-infused medical titles, Arts & Humanities Editor Mirela Roncevic recently renamed and rejiggered the “Spirtual Reading” column by Graham Christian. So far in 2007, two entries of “Spiritual Living” have run (in the January and March 1 issues), and the titles covered go way beyond the devotional titles of old. Graham tackles marriage woes, soul lessons courtesy of cats and dogs, and punk rock Buddhism.

For more soul glow–inducing material, don’t miss the May 1 issue.
