Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul: Directions to the Garden Within Gail Albert

Ancient tradition says that much of the Bible's deepest wisdom lies hidden beneath the surface text. National Book Award Finalist and Book-of-the-Month Club author Gail Albert offers detailed and practical guidance for bringing this wisdom into our lives in Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul:  Directions to the Garden Within.


Looking beneath the surface stories of Genesis through Deuteronomy, Albert describes a map of the spiritual journey for seekers of all traditions, providing interpretations, contemplative meditations, and personal experiences as she travels with the reader each step of the way. She addresses questions we all have:  How can I cope with the unpredictability of life, and with disappointment and loss? How can I be happier, less self-critical? How can I be more loving? Is there a larger meaning to my life?


Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul is a guide for all of us who yearn to replace anxiety, criticism, and loneliness with calm, compassion, and connection to the Mystery that we call God.
