Quote

As it is written, ''Our God is a consuming fire'' (Heb. 12:29); so we also must kindle the divine fire in ourselves through tears and hard work.--Amma Syncletica, fourth century.

Book Description

What could be more natural and timely than …Spiritual wisdom drawn from a woman''s world; word paintings expressed in the poetry of mother-daughter dialogue?

Home and hearth lessons in eternal truth, firmly grounded in day-to-day experience?

Small scenarios of inquiry and response, deep questioning and fledgling faith, that reverberate with quiet insight?

Dialogues that reflect modern levels of questioning; knots of paradox that require a woman''s patient attention and inner care to tease out true, gentle wisdom?

A poetic exploration of the large and the small issues of women''s life—nested, braided, interwoven, never fully unraveled—in precise language that retains the mystery but awakens the soul?

Invitation

Enter into the world of Becoming Flame: Uncommon Mother-Daughter Wisdom Dialogues with questions at the end for individual and group study.
