Days of Deepening Friendship: For the Woman Who Wants Authentic Life With God
Days of Deepening Friendship For the Woman Who Wants Authentic Life With God Author:Vinita Hampton Wright Help and companionship for the woman who wants an authentic, dynamic relationship with God. — Is it really possible to participate in a living, breathing friendship with God? More to the point, can a woman bring her true self to this encounter with the Divine without any fears or apologies? — The answer, clearly revealed in Days of Deepening Frien... more »dship, is yes! Not only does God welcome a woman s presence and invite her utmost honesty, but God desires that she bring the whole of her experience to this relationship. This often requires a woman to radically rethink her approach to friendship with God. She must learn to be comfortable bearing her history, her wounds, her gifts, and her deepest dreams to the Divine.
Using forty short chapters, Vinita Hampton Wright guides women to explore the deeper regions of relationship: beginning, hesitation, awareness, resistance, conversation, attention, engagement, and ultimately love. The material which includes stories, Scripture, meditations, and written exercises focuses on women s real experiences and spiritual sensitivities. Wright also taps the proven wisdom of Ignatian spirituality by employing prayer, imagination, action, and reflection; as such, the book can be enjoyed more as a spiritual workshop than as something to read, if so desired.
Whether a woman wants to deepen her own experience privately or explore the possibilities in a group setting, Days of Deepening Friendship will free her to open the door to the Divine and become friends with the God who has loved her for who she really is all along.« less
