Description

Less Helping Them, More Healing You: The Transcendent Gifts of an Ancient Spiritual Practice demonstrates how the ancient, forgiving and still- relevant practice of Spiritual Reading ( ectio divina) offers gifts that transcend trying times, including a slower pace, personal space and the graces of self- knowledge and self- acceptance. The structure of reading, reflecting, responding and receiving can help even the most distressed among us practice detachment, often the most loving forgiveness we can offer others— and ourselves.

By weaving together three elements— personal memoir, research on patterns of enmeshed relationships and applied examples of Spiritual Reading— the narrative shows one way to access spiritual wisdom, across time and space, to support life’ s journey, even during times of denial, desolation, and painful relationships. Rather than self- help, the book is an invitation to a community of contemplation, openness, and mercy.
