Description
""As it is written, 'Our God is a consuming fire' (Heb. 12:29); so we also must kindle the divine fire in ourselves through tears and hard work.""
--Amma Syncletica, fourth century.
What could be more natural and timely than ...
Spiritual wisdom drawn from a woman's world; word paintings expressed in the poetry of mother-daughter dialogue?
Home and hearth lessons in eternal truth, firmly grounded in day-to-day experience?
Small scenarios of inquiry and response, deep questioning and fledgling faith, that reverberate with quiet insight?
Dialogues that reflect modern levels of questioning; knots of paradox that require a woman's patient attention and inner care to tease out true, gentle wisdom?
A poetic exploration of the large and the small issues of women's life-nested, braided, interwoven, never fully unraveled-in precise language that retains the mystery but awakens the soul?
Enter into the world of Becoming Flame: Uncommon Mother-Daughter Wisdom
Dialogues with questions at the end for individual and group study.
