As a self-taught designer of my own websites, I have a good appreciation for a well designed, easy to navigate website. Content can only be appreciated when the website is readily accessible.

Spirituality & Practice is an example of an efficiently organized site devoted to resources for those on a spiritual journey. Its’ name reflects a basic premise: spirituality and practice are the two places where all the world's religions and spiritual paths come together. With respect for the differences among them, they celebrate the commonality in all paths.

This prolific site was created by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat. They have written about contemporary culture and the spiritual renaissance for three decades. The Brussats are also the authors of Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life, a collection of more than 650 examples of spiritual perspectives on everyday experience, as well as several other inspirational books.

On the homepage, you will find an overview of the rich diversity of content on the site. This includes a list of practices, books, audio, film, and teachers. Drop-down lists make the search even more effective. There is also an extensive database of more than 7,500 reviews, searchable by title, author/director, medium, keyword, and tradition.

Frederic and Mary Brussat have a passion for this material. You can feel their enthusiasm as you peruse Spirituality and Practice. Each year the Brussats identify spiritual themes in more than 300 books, 50 audios, and 300 films. They provide guides and program ideas for film and book discussion groups called Values & Visions Circles; more than 300 guides are currently available. They also frequently write and speak about how to incorporate spiritual practices into daily life, drawing upon the riches of all the world's religions. Ideas on how to practice using books, films, prayers, daily exercises, journals, imagery, art, music, and more, are part of this extensive resource.

If a website does not grab our attention immediately, there are many more available to captivate us. Spiritualityandpractice.com gives us a good reason to stay for a while.
