FROM THE PUBLISHER

As an antidote to today's harried world, many people seem to be reconnecting with the more spiritual aspects of life. The Journey Inward is an inspiring collection of more than 600 quotations that reflect on the nature of spiritual things as well as on our own spirituality.

Covering fifteen soulful topics such as the sacredness of daily life, prayer, gratitude, immortality, faith, holiness, and religion, the book gently speaks to the struggles and hopes that we meet in the journey of our everyday lives. In it, you'll hear the voices of spiritual thinkers as St. Augustine, Jimmy Carter, Deepak Chopra, Emily Dickinson, Anne Frank, Kahlil Gibran, Victor Hugo, Thomas Merton, Mother Teresa, and Alice Walker.

Enriching and thoughtful, The Journey Inward is an ideal way to refresh and revitalize your spirit.
