People And Places Of Sacred Interior Spaces: Midrashic Monologues And Guided Meditations - 9781039105799

Each piece in this book takes you on a journey into the interior spaces of your spirit. The book is divided into two sections: guided meditations and midrashic monologues. The guided meditations invite you to imagine places and experiences that will lead you toward peace in your own life and heart. The contexts of a hermit's cell, a grandmother's lap, and a high mountaintop set the stage for exploring themes such as fear, gratitude, gifts, and peace. Each one leads you back to love. The second section intertwines words and imagination to explore stories, with the ideas and emotions from scripture and the Early Church. Imagine the lives of Zechariah, Mary, and Simeon, and enter into their thoughts and feelings as they relate to Jesus. What might it have been like to be the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment, or the woman at the well? The people and their stories come alive through narratives inspired by the Jewish tradition of Midrash. People and Places of Sacred Interior Spaces is a valuable guide to encountering a loving and welcoming God for individual and group use.
