contents Brave New Genre: The Religious Partners with the Secular in a Singular 21st-Century Friendship Kuzyk, Raya Religion Religious Education Individual Development Self Actualization Self Help Programs Beliefs Spiritual Development Interdisciplinary Approach Publishing Industry Cataloging Classification Library Services In apparently no time at all, the distance between the once doggedly segregated religion and self-help shelves has shortened, and the two genres are fraternizing openly. Librarians have noticed an influx of books that cannot be definitively classified as religion or self-help. It is a phenomenal time for the breed of books dubbed "spiritual living", a genre that combines elements of self-help and devotional literature. The aim is to help readers incorporate faith into their everyday activities--parenting, business, healthcare, work, and relationships. In this article, the author mentions four books that have broken out of the Christian sector, but herald a new category that shows no sign of waning.
