Dr. Ulanov's latest work blends the theories of Winnicott with spiritual understanding so beautifully and simply that one is surprised by the gems of insight deposited in each chapter. She also weaves in themes from past books in such a way that you know the idea is familiar, like a childhood friend forgotten but suddenly recalled, but you are challenged to see them with a new prospective and find in them new insights. This book, from cover to cover, lifts up the importance of a space that is offered by God (though Ulanov does not seek to define this God but rather leaves that to the reader)in which true creativity and healing can mix and flow into everyday life. This book is powerfully written, with imagery so accessible and common that it moves the soul closer to that which is Divine. This book not only challenges the reader to explore their own understanding of God but to re-frame how they interact with others. I now have 2 copies of this book. One is my personal copy full of notes and reflections stirred up by the nature of the book while the other copy is for sharing. As a Pastoral Counselor in training I find this book a wonderful source and resource for those struggling to understand the importance of dependence and interdependence not only with others but also with the Divine. Thank you, Dr. Ulanov, for yet another life enriching book.
