2nd Post : )

I have been amazed at the types of sources I have come across in my initial research, from Biblical sources to witch craft books, but by fair my favorite source and the most interesting for me, would be the Bible. As a Christian, we learn everything we know about God and our Faith from the Bible, God's Holy Word, so it just seems logical in researching Christian spirituality that the Bible would be the main source of information. I have been saved for over six years and I have read the Bible, but through this research process I am learning things that didn't know or things I have over looked about being Spiritually right and healthy.

-At first my topic inquiry was, "What does it mean to be Spiritually Healthy?"
Im finding out that their are millions of meaning to the word "spiritual". So i have decided to make my inquiry about only Christian Spirituality. I have had a time with sorting through all the different types and opinions of spiritual health and have spent at least a couple hours looking up people to see if they have the background to put any real meaning behind their own words, or if it is just their opinion. For this reason I have stuck close to the Bible, because I know that all the words in it are true and they are from God, I don't have to worry about false telling like I would if I siting a Joel Osteen book. I believe that narrowing my inquiry will make my paper easier to read because it's focused on one type of spirituality instead of a mixture of the millions now practiced.

- I have really enjoyed researching this topic, but one of the challenges I have come across so far is finding a source that is just telling about Christian Spirituality, and not putting Christian vs Muslim, etc. It is very disheartening to see how many books are totally against Christianity.

- One tip i would give my peers is to use your time wisely. Don't wait till the last minute to do your research, know your topic!
