Simple Ways: Towards the Sacred

Simple Ways: Towards the Sacred

by Gunilla Norris (Author)

Synopsis

While the demands and pace of modern living often prevent many from seeing the transcendent and extraordinary elements in the simple activities and events in life, this beautifully written, lucid, and practical primer for prayer, meditation, and mindful living focuses on seeking and appreciating the sacred in everyday life. Divided into four sections concentrating on our bodies, our dwellings, everyday things, and gratitude, Norris illuminates ways to see and embrace the sacred each day. The guidance and advice offered present a very practical and accessible way to appreciate and celebrate holiness in daily life.

Media Reviews
Illuminates a number of different avenues towards the sacred in our everyday lives. This is an enormously helpful experiential guide, and an important invitation into a spiritual life. --Greg Johanson, coauthor, Grace Unfolding
This beautiful and prayerful book offers us a key to unlock the door to that sacred ever-presence within and around us. It will be an invaluable day-by-day companion along the road to wholeness and to peace. --Margaret Silf, author, The Gift of Prayer
A book to live rather than read. Gunilla Norris doesn't tell you what to see, but how to see. She doesn't tell you where to go, but how to know when you have arrived. This is a book to treasure. --Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, The Sacred Art of Lovingkindness
Gunilla Norris has given us a book of immeasurable grace and wisdom. Her lyrical and practical meditations help us to find peace of mind, sustained awareness, and the capacity to care about what really matters, both for ourselves and for our world. --Gail Straub, author, The Rhythm of Compassion
A gentle call to live our lives fully and in cooperation with a transcendent, loving presence. The idea of mindfulness . . . is described serenely and lyrically and in a way that encourages a personal journey, not blind adherence to another's map. -- New Age Retailer
