Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A comprehensive, unabashed and livable portrait of the spiritual life Drawing from the physical and spiritual terrain that she has inhabited throughout her life - predominantly around her home in Minneapolis, Minnesota - Elizabeth J Andrew leads the reader on the quest to feel at home with one's self and one's beliefs With honesty and subtlety, Andrew's meditations turn to the details of household maintenance - the cluttered pantry, the loose-screened porch, the dim bedroom - and neighbourly relations using a lath-and-plaster language to address the sometimes empty, sometimes exuberant seasons of the spiritual life. Occasionally whimsical, often at odds, always probing, these reflections serve as a model of the contemplative life as experienced in contemporary society. An evocation of home and its revelations to the human spirit, On the Threshold connects the commonplace to an interior realm of doubt, memory, imagination and prayer, and launches this private search outward into life in the community - in neighbourhood, church and intimate love.
