The Art of Spiritual Writing

Who am I. That is one of life's deepest questions, common to us all, and it can be the work of a lifetime to find the answer. In The Art of Spiritual Writing, Eirene Palmer and Richard Palmer, both published authors and leaders of Christian spiritual retreats, demonstrate how clearer self-awareness can come through the practice of writing. This practical, friendly, transformative book offers a treasure trove of ideas to help you write about your spiritual life from that deep reflective place that is inside each of us. It shows you how you can use in your writing the experience of your own journeys, past, present and future, mapping those areas of unique individual interest. It will help you to discover the value of writing meditative and reflective work, as well as the benefits of writing for therapy and prayer. It also provides invaluable advice, good journalling practices, and tips for encouraging readers to get into the habit of daily writing and reflection.
