Book Title: When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life's Sacred Questions

Author: Sue Monk Kidd

Selection Statement:

This book, alongside many others of the contemplative tradition, has accompanied me on a journey through new phases of life, career, and spirituality. It emphasizes the importance of stillness, waiting, and mindfulness in the process of renewal and transition through loss or change of life season. It presents a wonderful perspective for living in the present with more openness, peace, and joy without the constant need to strive for it.
