The Call to the Soul

Six Stages of Spiritual Development

by Marjory Bankson

Almost every aspect of our living and dying has been categorized into stages --- pregnancy, the first years of life, adolescence, mid-life passages, death and dying. But our spiritual development remains essentially uncharted.

With extraordinary insight, Bankson offers a spiritual road map for people seeking to understand and nurture their spiritual growth. At each stage of life, we fact crucial questions: Who Am I? What is my Work? What is my Gift? What is my Legacy? At each stage of life, we also have a chance to claim our call, to embrace that which gives us a sense of meaning and value beyond career satisfaction and producing income.

Bankson stretches our understanding of call as an invitation to wholeness, an awareness that we are linked in a larger purpose, a process that moves us into the realm of spiritual completion. When we can name what we are here for --- whether that is to build, or teach, paint, or program computers, or change society --- we are following our call.

The Call to the Soul offers an innovative and thought-provoking six-stage model of the "soulwork cycle." Each stage is portrayed in mythical archetypes, with biblical and personal stories and reveals a pattern of spiritual growth that offers understanding, comfort, and companionship at each step on the spiritual path.

Study Helps are now available.

For a one-page overview of the "soulwork cycle", see The Cycle of Call.
