Abi Millar is looking for something. She grew up in an evangelical church, but after she lost her faith, she found herself searching for spiritualty in other places. Torn between trying to balance the logical part of her brain with the part that secretly believes in magic, and in the wake of a great loss, she wondered whether her crisis of faith was part of a larger story: at a time when more and more people in the Western world are moving away from organised religion, what does spirituality look like?

The Spirituality Gap follows Abi as she receives a shamanic healing, drinks ayuahuasca, delves into astrology, experiences an awakening in a lake, and attends an atheist church. Written with great warmth, curiosity and humour, it explores our post-religious world from the perspective of someone who is neither a 'spiritual but not religious' hippie nor an angry atheist. Throughout, she asks: how can we embrace ritual in our own lives even if we are wary of religion?

Reviews for The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age

'A beguiling exploration of what contemporary spiritual practices might offer to a world that’s lost its religion. Millar’s rigorous but sympathetic quest for meaning cuts through the hype to peer into the heart of the modern mind-body-spirit machine' Dr Sharon Blackie, author of If Women Rose Rooted  'This book really spoke to me. In these hyper-individualistic times, so many of us are aware that we are living in a way that works against our nature as humans and are actively seeking deeper meaning. Abi approaches this topic with a perfect blend of scientific robustness and lack of judgement... The result is a book that is genuinely thought-provoking - every reader will learn something' Natasha Devon, author of A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental
