Writing to Wake the Soul: Opening the Sacred Conversation Within

This is a book about words, but it is equally about what pulses beneath them — what lies between the lines.

Writing to Wake the Soul: Opening the Sacred Conversation Within 

by Karen Hering —

With generous wisdom and gentle guidance, Hering encourages us to begin writing wherever we are and helps us to listen for our own inner voice and words.

This is a book about words, but it is equally about what pulses beneath them — what lies between the lines.

Writing opens a path to the inner self and to the timeless wisdom deep within.

Based on hundreds of writing sessions that Hering has offered in a wide variety of settings, she shares reflections on 10 spiritual key words and provides an elegant practice for readers to explore a greater intimacy with their spirituality, their soul and their world.

She presents exercises centered around the 10 spiritual key words — faith, prayer, sin, love, justice, redemption, grace, hope, reverence and hospitality.
