"Soul moments — times when heaven touches earth — are here and now, in the thick of things, sometimes occurring as we are most aware of our human limitations and confusion. They encircle us and name us: loved, cherished, chosen. The experience passes, but the soul bears its indelible mark," writes Isabel Anders, managing editor of Synthesis Publications and author of two books. As a Christian, the author is always on the lookout for soul moments, even though she knows that they are shrouded in mystery and usually not easily explained. They may be connected with creativity and imagination; dreams and poetry are two examples. These moments enable us to see the web of interrelatedness that characterizes our lives.
In this well-written paperback, Anders describes soul moments that take place when fuel is low, when we see the glory of God revealed in the penetrating eyes of another person, when we trek on with courage even though our path is not clear, when we find inspiration and sustenance in books, when we pray, when we behold with wonder the dance of creation, when we ask the right questions, and when we tap into the riches of friendship, sacraments and much more.
