Toward Holy Ground: Spiritual Directions for the Second Half of Life
by Margaret Guenther
$14.95 Paperback

The second half of life is that time when we undertake the tasks essential to a mature faith. This part of life has a depth and spirituality all its own: a tolerance of ambiguity, an exploration of limitation and mortality, discipline and simplicity, fruition and fulfillment. With wisdom gained through years of experience and prayer, Margaret Guenther explores the practical aspects of spirituality in midlife: intercessory prayer, the need for community, light-heartedness, detachment and stripping down, preparing for aging and "a good death," and crafting a rule of life.
