Seasons of a Family's Life: Cultivating the Contemplative Spirit at Home

Wendy Wright blends sophisticated theology with the practicalities of daily family life to encourage all to develop their spirituality in ways that are realistic and accessible. Excellent resource for spiritual directors, retreat leaders and general readers desirous of deepening their faith.

Wendy M. Wright has done it once again. A fitting sequel to her memorable, Sacred Dwelling, Seasons of a Family's Life is a prodigious accomplishment. No other writer in spirituality today writes with the insight, beauty, grace, and poetry of Wendy Wright. She makes the ordinary, extroadinary, and the seemingly mundane, numinous. Wendy has the extraordinary gift of using her well-honed language to give meaning to life events we might otherwise pass by. She is self-revelatory and vulneralbe in this book, using her and her family's experience as a gateway to revelation of God and the Spirit all around us. One cannot help but go back and re-read her prose with the hope that some of its lyricism and beauty might linger in the soul. This is a book not to miss. It will give you a deeper appreciation of your own lived experience of family, and cause you to see things there you have never seen before. One can only wait with bated breath to see where this extraordinary author will lead us next.
