Beginning with the premise that you don't have to be a saint to be spiritually alive, AWAKE MY SOUL focuses the reader's attention on twelve ways to find new meaning in everyday experiences. These suggestions are not grand new theories about how to get in touch with God- they are reminders of what we have forgotten along life's road - that God is within reach, that we must keep our eyes and ears open and pay attention to the rhythms of daily life. The author's pragmatic approach helps us to find grace and joy in the simplest things that surround us, whether it's the sounds of setting the table for breakfast or the sight of a child at play. And suddenly it doesn't seem so overwhelming to make a long term commitment to what promises to be the most rewarding contribution we make to our overall well-being.
Very pleased with my purchase. It arrived in a very timely manner and was in better condition than its original rating. Thanks for being so efficient.

"Awake my soul"

This was a excellent book to help one understand a relationship with God. Simple down to earth honesty that shows the giving up of oneself in sharing the events in his family. It moves one beyond self and one can feel his breath and heartbeat as he writes. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in strengthen their relationship with their God and savior Jesus Christ. "It gives a vision and importance of the dust particles of life." Praise the Lord for such writing.
