It was our privilege to have taken over the editing of the book, and we hope that we have remained true to the spirit of the text that David first envisaged. Fortunately, he had completed one of his chapters for the book, ‘Chocolate Cakes’, which is published here. Sadly, David died in 2001, as work was beginning on the book. Spirituality and Mental Health BreakthroughĮditors’ Note Originally, this book was to be edited by David Brandon and Phil Barker.
