Spirituality

How can we describe to others what is happening to us on our spiritual journey? How can we depict the spiritual road that we are taking experiences of prayer, transitions that we travel through, impediments that we face and externalize into words the interior experiences?

This striking guide to thoughtful Christian living explores the everyday experience of Christian hope and wisdom. Helping us grapple with cultural forces, this book shapes a theological imagination that is grounded in the reality of being human in a suffering world and yet open to transformation by the life of God.

Lectio divina, which means sacred reading, is an ancient contemplative practice of listening deeply to the voice of God in sacred texts.

This wise and beautiful book, written in the form of spiritual letters, reflects on the themes of home and being at home: with ourselves, with each other, with the times we are living through, and with God.

Becca Stevens, social activist and priest, extols the transformative power of love in this inspiring collection of spiritual reflections.
