The Enduring Heart

Wilkie Au

For most of us, living in the good times is easy. When we are young and healthy, when life seems brimming with possibilities, it's a simple matter to move ahead confidently and believe that the all-loving God smiles on our endeavors. At the same time, we all know those days will not last forever. Life brings trials and sadness. Not only that, but most of us will live to be much older than our parents. People need a spirituality for the long haul that will last and bear fruit long after the spring rains and summer sunshine are gone. Is it possible to live vibrantly and confindently even then?
This book is a resource for people who want to be rooted in the real world and nourished by love all through their lives. To that end, it offers more than just encouragement. It provides resources that can sustain the spiritual journey over the long haul. Among these are techniques for letting go and resting in God, ways of walking through our lives mindfully and keeping a contemplative spirit. Above all, the secret of lifelong spirituality is nurturing a heart that is grateful even when live is hard. In those days we can learn to "be still and still moving," knowing God's spirit and our own are present to each other.
These chapters, and the exercises at the end of each chapter, will nourish baby boomers in midlife, seniors in their later years, and anyone who has known loss or spiritual deadness. They proclaim: endurance can be learned; joy is available.
