Rose Mary Dougherty has been teaching people ways to live in greater intimacy with God for many years at the Shalem Institute and in retreats and workshops around the United States. Now in her 60s, she has distilled her learnings from a lifetime of givenness to the Divine and rendered them with extraordinary clarity, brevity, and accessibility. The book's real content is in the subtitle: A Path to Spiritual Awakening. Whether you're brand-new to the spiritual life or someone who has walked many miles on the spiritual journey, there are nuggests of wisdom here for you. The practices and counsels Rose Mary offers are many, varied, and easily understood. There is no easy answer here, but there are valuable paths for the serious and committed seeker to explore. And the price is very affordable as well! Truly a "must" read for the serious seeker.

Rose has brought a wealth of personal experience and sharing to this lovely little book on how to be present to the invitations of life that often enough are left at the near-conscious level if not ignored altogether. From personal experience, I know that it is well worthwhile to practice personally what Rose is describing.
