Product Description

Rooted in the ancient tradition of lectio divina — sacred reading that connects Scripture with the pursuit of personal transformation — Seeing with our Souls highlights a key Bible passage and offers brief reflections for each of the twelve key qualities of the soul that are essential to deeper living. Each chapter deals with a different quality of the soul — for example, vision, compassion, humility, faith — that speaks to the core of one’s spiritual practice and inspires action.

“Seeing with our Souls will look at those qualities of the soul that must be cultivated by each of us if we are to become a different kind of people in this rapidly different kind of world. Cultures and countries and church communities are not made by institutional figures. They are made by us. The question is, What will we need to develop in ourselves if we ourselves are to be a positive presence in a changing world?”
