The stories in this book showed how it can happen automatically when you are involved in physical activity you love. It showed me how and when it aleady happens for me. Her stories are engaging and I enjoyed reading how people expanded their horizons physically and spiritually at ...             When in Doubt, Sing: Prayer in Daily Life8 reviews Jane Redmont Sorin Books, 2008 At last! A book on prayer for out loud types! Hurray! My home library is full of books on spiritual practice, all read and mostly gathering dust. All that advice to "go off and be quiet" just does not speak to my extraverted and very public self. Jane Redmont's book is the first I've seen that embraces the wildly varied personalities of those who dare to pray. She not only acknowledges the variety, but invites the reader into new ...             Open the Door: A Journey to the True Self15 reviews Sorin Books, 2008 Exceeded my expectations "Open the Door" by Joyce Rupp helped me dive deeper into my spiritual life. Her questions are keys to opening doors that may be stuck, may be difficult to open, doors that are hidden or avoided. For if you want to engage in a six week process that invites you to explore your inner worlds, this book is a must.             Radical Amazement: Contemplative Lessons from Black Holes, Supernovas, And Other Wonders of the Universe13 reviews Judy Cannato Sorin Books, 2006 Amazing Metaphors, Undeniable Truths Judy Cannuto tells the great epic story of our Universe while wedding the emergence of consciousness and divine awareness with the Christian tradition. She does this in a seamlessly inclusive and expansive way that does not desecrate but only broadens and deepens what was parochial faith. A must read for fundamentalists and that other end of the religious spectrum, atheists. Let's face it, ...             Public Lives, Private Prayers8 reviews Mary Reath Sorin Books, 2001 a different kind of prayer book This slim volume does not contain advice on how to pray, nor does it represent any particular denomination or faith. Instead, it gives the reader a wonderful variety of short prayers and spiritual comments from public people around the world. On one level, it is a fascinating look at the inner lives of people that we see profiled in the media. On another level, it presents a starting point for ...             Field of Compassion: How the New Cosmology Is Transforming Spiritual Life6 reviews Judy Cannato Sorin Books, 2010 From Small Mind to Great Heart "This book is for mature readers only." These are the opening words of this remarkable book. And it is true. It is for those who know in their bones that our historical moment is one of both great danger and great opportunity, who realize that the future of life itself, the quality of human life in particular is being decided by us, right now. Judy Cannato invites us to enter deeply and ...             Everyday Simplicity: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Growth5 reviews Robert J. Wicks Sorin Books, 2000 Everday Simplicity This 203-page book is a gem! I found it to be easy to read and yet power-packed with thought-provoking ways to help one's spirituality to grow. I believe this book could be of benefit to every Christian who seeks to grow closer to God. Its tenets help guide both the novice and the master of prayer and it clearly spells out practical ways of bringing the spiritual into daily life. It is ...             Take Back Your Kids: Confident Parenting in Turbulent Times10 reviews William J. Doherty Sorin Books, 2000 Clear Thinking on Parenting Let me share a short story about why this book made such good sense to me. I have two friends, who I'll call Candace and Mary. Candace is the kind of mom who jumps every time her daughter says boo, no matter how demanding or rude the request. Mary, on the other hand, was less 'conscientious.' Her husband was, at times, downright gruff with their kids when they got obnoxious. I always assumed ...             From Hurting to Happy: Transforming Your Life After Loss6 reviews Barbara Bartocci Sorin Books, 2002 A Book for Tough Times This is one of several books I've read by Barbara. In this one she addresses the many kinds of loss that we may need to confront some day--jobs, marriages, health, death, a feeling of security...and it has the same touch I've appreciated in her other books. She writes inspiring true stories and through her "helping hand" that ends each story, she speaks directly from her heart to her reader's, ...             10 Best Gifts for Your Teen: Raising Teens With Love and Understanding15 reviews Sorin Books, 2009 Important Read for Parents of Teens Well written, organized, and an important read for frustrated parents trying to do the best they can. It's a bittersweet time watching my son go through this stage in his life. "10 Best Gifts..." has helped me realize that his moody, sulking, "Aw Mom!", "Whatever!" moments should not be taken too personally. The kid who used to love his mom to pieces probably still does. And now, more than ...             God Knows You're Grieving: Things to Do to Help You Through3 reviews Sorin Books, 2001 Helped Validate My Feelings I really enjoyed this book. The scripture references and the beautiful proverbs used helped me to step back from my grief and look at it from a different perspective. I highly recommend this book, even if you do not believe in God.             Touching the Holy: Ordinariness, Self-Esteem, and Friendship5 reviews Sorin Books, 1991 Gift Worthy There is nothing that we could do that would make God love us any more than God does right now. We don't hear that enough. Robert Wicks reminds us of our holiness in our ordinariness. It's what God works best with. It's what God needs for us to be so God can introduce God's self to others through us. Wicks will reaquaint the reader with their goodness and the goodness of others simply by ...             Tired of Arguing With Your Kids: Wisdom from Parents Who Have Been There5 reviews Dolores Curran Sorin Books, 1999 From whining to monster spray...Curran does it again Wisdom and humor are typical of Curran, but she really outdoes herself this time in "Tired of Arguing". This book gives practical suggestions to parents around issues from chronic whining to monster spray. I underlined most of it and laughed out loud over and over again at her ingenious responses to children's tedius arguments. Curran gives practical help to parents who fall into the ...             If You Don't Know Where You're Going, You'll Probably End Up Somewhere Else: Finding a Career and Getting a ...3 reviews Sorin Books, 2009 A Classic, Updated I read this book in its first edition back in 1974 or 1975, when it had just been published for the first time. I'd completely forgotten about it all these years, but then came across a copy in a used book store, instantly recognized it, started reading it, and realized how much it had influenced my life these past 30+ years -- for the better. I just bought a copy of the revised edition for my ...             The Fabric of Friendship: Celebrating the Joys, Mending the Tears in Women's Relationships5 reviews Joy Carol Sorin Books, 2006 A Must Read for Every Woman! Joy Carol has done it again - a carefully researched and beautifully written book to help friends, family, colleagues, all kinds of relationships heal and avoid painful communication problems. The sisters chapter is especially powerful and I recommend this book to men as much as women.             Sparks of the Divine: Finding Inspiration in Our Everyday World4 reviews Drew Leder Sorin Books, 2004 ...breath of fresh air "Sparks of the Divine: Finding Inspiration in Our Everyday World" is a breathe of fresh air. In my role as pastoral associate, I often find myself in conversation with those who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God and asking for ways to establish a deeper prayer life. I readily recommended this book to a friend who claimed to be having difficulty finding God in the everydayness of ...             The God Instinct3 reviews Tom Stella Sorin Books, 2001 A book that could change your life Tom Stella is a gifted writer whose new book - THE GOD INSTINCT can best be described as powerful, inspirational and insightful. Tom is a Catholic priest, though after reading his book, you will conclude that he could just as easily be a holy man representing any one of a multitude of religions. Tom opens our minds to a new way of experiencing and understanding God's presence in our life. Seeing ...             In My Mother's Closet; An Invitation to Remember5 reviews Eugenia Zukerman Sorin Books, 2003 A Powerful and Poignant Treasure I don't know if Ms. Zukerman meant to create a new kind of connection and common ground with the other women in her readers' lives. But she has, in this intimate, powerful and poignant treasure. Not only did I gain entre to the childhood and adolescent memories of these creative and accomplished women -- memories I hazard many of those interviewed for the book rarely shared with others before -- ...             Simple Days: A Journal on What Really Matters3 reviews Marlene A. Schiwy Sorin Books, 2002 Worth re-reading once every year Marlene Schiwy's book is inspirational. It's a dramatization of successful techniques for living well. It won't tell you how to balance a budget or how to save money or how to make lifestyle changes. Rather, it dramatizes the events in one woman's life as she negotiated a lot of these issues we all face. Thus, I like to re-read it every January when I set goals for the new year. The book is ...             Show Yourself to My Soul: A New Translation of Gitanjali3 reviews Rabindranath Tagore, James Talarovic, ... Sorin Books, 2002 fabulous poems and translation Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore is a series of poems exposing Tagore's search for union with the divine.
