Finding Our Way Home (Large Print 16pt) - Tapa blanda

In a deeply heartfelt way, Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione share stories of their spiritual journey, detours they've taken, and people who have impacted them along their life trail. Using the Hawaiian tradition of ''talking story,'' Jerry and Diane demonstrate the daily application of spiritual principles and practical spirituality. Individually and together, they weave their journey for us as it continues to evolve from the influences around them. They inspire us to embrace and share our own stories of peaks and valleys that make up our journeys. The authors' honest and vulnerable style of communicating continues to reveal their life purposes in the choices they make and the lessons they've learned. ''Each day still provides challenges and circumstances that call to those parts of us that want to judge others or ourselves,'' they write. ''What is different now is that we more quickly recognize when we're lost and the choice we have to return to the path of unconditional love. Once we remember that our purpose is service and helping others, as well as letting go of our judgments and grievances by practicing forgiveness, the path is easier, the direction clearer, and the destination of peace achievable. ''
