Full Description
This collection of essays from Barbara Kingsolver, Anne Lamott, Barry Lopez, and others reflects on how parenting challenges, enriches, and magnifies our spiritual lives.
They explore those times when children helped them appreciate the mystery and beauty of life, how children threw them into battles with their souls, and how children helped them say "yes" to living. Parents with families of all kinds will find in these essays moments of joyful recognition and compassionate understanding for the unique spiritual adventure of raising children.
