soul stirring
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The poetry contained in this book is so beautiful and its thoughts and wanderings fill your heart with joy (even the ones about spiritual dryness!). I use this book in meditation and sometimes I can not even finish one poem because my heart is leaping within! Thank the Lord for the gifts He has given us through the words of such a wonderful poet and mystical soul!
Echoes of mystics from the past

Reminds me a little of Emily Dickinson, a little of her contemporary, Thérèse de Lisieux. I was surprised to see that Jessica Powers was an elderly nun-so uninhibited in expressing how in love she was with God!
Reads My Soul
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book has poetry that describes the experiences we all have felt at some time in our Spiritual lives. As I read some of the poems it expressed what I had felt or was feeling so accurately I felt I was reading my own soul. Her poems lend themselves to be used for prayer & meditation with ease and they truly uplift the soul.
