5.0 out of 5 stars Honest,courageous, self-disclosing journey through mid-life., October 23, 1997
By A Customer
This is Joyce Rupp at her best. The wisdom of living a heart-centered life is the fruit of this book. Any woman or man looking for a guide to lead them through the middle years "naming" the losses, bringing forth the images which help all of us to find our way with dignity, grace, and ah yes! humor, will treasure this book and pass it on to their closest friends. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great help for midlife crisis, October 9, 2000
By Deborah Rieselman (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Joyce helps us face the dark corners of our hearts -- the places where we would rather not go. But, in doing so, she brings us into a light more bright than we ever thought possible. Using her suggested guided visualizations and journaling suggestions makes the experience more powerful, too. The visualizations can even be done by yourself. Don't rush through this book. Take your time and really enter the cave. I found Jesus waiting there for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dear heart, Come Home, February 14, 2000
By Mary E. Montgomery (Doylestown, PA) - See all my reviews
My faith-sharing/prayer group used this in our weekly meetings.Our group ranges from 53 to 73, so we were all in different stanges ofour mid-life. Joyce's book seemed very "dark" and only one person could actually relate well to the contents. However, I felt it prompted more sharing within the group than other books we've used. The idea for group meetings were excellent. I also purchased the audio tape to go with this book which was excellent (5 stars). Great mediations and the chants are a great way to begin your reading or the evening's activity.

It is as if this book was written about my spiritual journey! It has provided insights into the path that many people in mid-life experience. Great book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing if you are a faithful Roman Catholic
This book does not contain the gifts of the Catholic faith, but instead is a new age spiritual treatise of total, unqualified tolerance. Read more
