Messages to the Heart was born from an organic pairing of one couple's passion: Elise's thoughtful, healing pastel paintings paired with Phil's mindful philosophy derived from years of coaching clients to success. Together, they bring a visceral expression of everyday inspiration brought together through art and words. Readers will feel touched, inspired and reminded of their "ah-ha" moments of truth and beauty in their own lives.

Since I was a teenager in grade school I was writing poetry and short love stories. It was during the brake-up of my marriage that I took to writing again. All the feelings of abandonment, betrayal and humilliation gave me the inspiration to write what my heart, my soul and my mind was feeling during that awful time in my life. For me, writing was my therapy. Having no one to talk to, I would sit down with tears in my eyes, with my broken heart and my lonely self, the words would spilled out of me in a torrent of emotions that would leave me empty and drained. Everyone of us go through this kind of pain at one point or another in their lives, but not everyone takes time to write what they feel. I did. I hope that anyone who buy this book will share the same feelings I once felt.

The Singing Heart: A Book of Quiet Reflections is a collection of reflections on human nature and morality; the beauty of nature and its relationship with man as created being and God as creator; man's duties, responsibilities, and destiny in life; and the interplay of heart, mind, and soul. These reflections from a "singing heart" are beautifully written in a language steeped in love for Russia and the Orthodox faith and provide a glimpse into the soul of a man who refused to be beaten by the cruelty of his time but found beauty in the darkest of days.

In this masterpiece of simplicity, Macrina Wiederkehr offers a series of meditations to bring us closer to a "God for all seasons," revised and expanded into this new edition. Designed for daily use as well as for retreats, Seasons of Your Heart is an eloquent and lyrical invitation to journey through the spiritual seasons of wonder, hope, love, mystery, and faith. Macrina Weiderkehr shares her "seasonal struggle with God" and encourages us to reconize those same peaks and valleys in our own spiritual life. Using biblical passages, poetry, and excerpts from her journal, Wiederkehr provides meditative ideas and prayers as "postures" for realizing and approaching the holy in our daily lives. These reflections and prayers, then, have grown out of a daily listening to God in the changing seasons of my spiritual life, "writes the author. "These reflections have grown out of my conviction that our God is not some Almighty Being beyond us, but a Mystery within."

I have found that gift books are a good and easy way to look into a Christian writer's beliefs, even if it's a writer that you don't generally prefer. I confess I don't like Lori Wick's fiction, but I never really had a chance to look into the life of the lady herself. In this book, amid Wick's numerous reflections and stories, I found a lovely woman who is, in fact, not unlike me!?I may not like Wick's fiction, but her non-fiction tales in this book are a delight to read. I loved reading about her experiences as a mother, wife, and woman in general with God directing her life. Wick wonderfully relates life lessons with her experiences and applies the Gospel seamlessly to the struggles a Christian faces. Along with her inspiring stories are beautiful paintings and various quotes, both Biblical and otherwise, which blend together to make this book a gem to read.?I highly recommend this book as a gift to yourself or someone else. I know I'll be repeatedly visiting its pages in the years to come.
