VersandkostenfreiThe second half of life-which we can enter at any age-is that time when we begin the process essential to a mature faith: discovering who we are, exploring our relationship with God, and beginning to let go. This part of life has a depth and spirituality all its own-a need for structure and rule, a tolerance of ambiguity, an exploration of limitation and mortality, and the deep work of discipline and detachment.
Margaret Guenther brings her insights as a spiritual director to the gifts and opportunities of those of us who are on this journey to "holy ground." In each chapter, Toward Holy Ground explores the practical aspects of spirituality in midlife: intercessory prayer, a sense of community, a rule of life, lightheartedness, detachment, and stripping down, preparing for "a good death." A final chapter discusses practical aspects of ministry to the frail aged.

Pressestimmen
Written by a priest who is professor of ascetical theology at General Theological Seminary, this is a book for those of any age ready to order their loves a phrase that struck me as so utterly simple yet essential and to shape their lives in order to live generously and passionately. Toward Holy Ground is concerned with how we live out our professed beliefs, how we sanctify the ordinary, how we cultivate awareness of God in the small and everyday. And it is wonderful to read! I particularly enjoyed Guenther's skill in connecting Bible stories to daily life and her frequent referral to the apocryphal St. Anne, revered for centuries as God's grandmother, and that Holy Kinship which provided a rich, crowded family life for Jesus. The author's nitty-gritty on developing a rule of life and a rule of play is at once practical and encouraging. I highly recommend Toward Holy Ground for anyone moving toward spiritual direction and discipline and for all others who enjoy a well-written book that helps one take a step further into the faith.--Sally Bucklee
