Synopsis

“During the past few years, various friends have asked me, ‘What do you mean when you speak about the spiritual life?’ Every time this question has come up, I have wished I had a small and simple book which could offer the beginning of a response.

A favorite quote: “As we empty ourselves of our many worries, we come to know not only with our mind but also with our heart that we ne......more
