Holy Longing The Hidden Power of Spiritual Yearning

In every mystical tradition, saints & poets speak eloquently of the soul's search for the divine, its yearning for the gods, its longing for heaven. This universal yearning lies hidden at the source of our life stories. This obscure object of desire calls us to follow it, & we respond, even unknowingly. In this way, a life story unfolds, invisibly shaped by the object of our longing. If you feel a gnawing yearning beneath your other yearnings no matter how many desires you satisfy; if you feel disillusioned with traditional religions but seek spiritual values & practices elsewhere; if you or a friend or family member suffer from religious abuse but long to rekindle the flame of faith, then this book can guide you from spiritual innocence through loss to spiritual maturity.Zweig, Connie is the author of 'Holy Longing The Hidden Power of Spiritual Yearning', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756784713 and ISBN 0756784719.
