The essence of this book is that a vital part of the spiritual transformation process is waiting; that one cannot always be doing, but that one must also wait on God and on His timetable. The author’s main metaphor is that of the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly; it is quite a leap of faith for a caterpillar to enter a chrysalis to become transformed. rabck from Mysscyn; I didn't realize before her Fiction career that this author wrote Christian Life Books. Excellent for the current time of my life, comparing the spiritual work to a butterfly - you must cocoon first, before you can transform and unfurl your wings to fly into the next phase of your life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: From the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees, an inspiring autobiographical account of personal pain, spiritual awakening, and divine grace Blending her own experience with an intimate grasp of spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd relates the passionate and moving tale of her spiritual crisis, when life seemed to have lost meaning and her longing for a hasty escape from the pain yielded to a discipline of "active waiting." Full of wisdom, poise, and grace, Kidd's words will encourage us along our spiritual journey, toward becoming who we truly are. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I cannot really read without writing and underlining, (nor can I write without reading). Happily, I realized this was a keeper and returned the library copy and got one of my own to enjoy and digest at leisure. As I write about life changes and the process of transition, I found Monk's thoughtful and personal approach wise and honest. She speaks of her midlife passage, which for her was her 40's. In my early 50's I find myself just now catching up to many of her soul experiences. Lovely weaving of one woman's story of change with the wisdom of a variety of other writers and thinkers. A treasure.
update: 4.5 stars. Even better the third time through. What a wise and honest companion. Thank you, Sue. ( )
