<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>St. Hildegard, a twelfth-century abbess and Doctor of the Church, is a terrific spiritual guide--but her writings are a challenge to read. <i>Saint Hildegard: Ancient Insights for Modern Seekers</i> unearths the saint's spiritual gems to light up contemporary spiritual paths.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Saint Hildegard: Ancient Insights for Modern Seekers</i> is a treasure trove of St. Hildegard's bracing, rich, and transforming insights. Written for today's seekers and spiritual directors, it takes us deeper into our own experiences in the company of the mystic visionary St. Hildegard, whose twelfth-century wisdom, still strikingly relevant to our contemporary struggles, enriches our journeys. <p/>Spiritual director and retreat guide Susan Garthwaite knows this journey well--she's traveled it for years. St. Hildegard has influenced Garthwaite's spiritual life, as well as her work as a spiritual director, and here she gives concrete examples of spiritual experiences and practices in which St. Hildegard's insights can draw out our own wisdom. She also gently touches our worst experiences and offers St. Hildegard's light for our liberation and fullness of life. <p/>Like all of us today, St. Hildegard dealt with a world in turmoil. She believed spiritual development was the key to peace in troubled times. With her guidance, read, reflect, pray, discern, journal, heal, befriend your soul, and discover your mystic self. A richer life awaits.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"But it turns out that when Saint Hildegard and Susan Garthwaite speak together, the conversation is lively, compelling, and holy."<p>--Nathaniel M. Campbell, Today's American Catholic</p><p></p><p><br></p><p>"Garthwaite presents Hildegard for those seeking spiritual direction in their lives, and then even more specifically, she explains how Hildegard can be useful to those who are, or would like to become, spiritual directors themselves."<br>--Spirituality & Practice <p/><br>"This is indeed a spiritual gem and one that will profoundly touch and inspire. I was very much taken with the sections on discernment and mysticism. The areas of discernment in St. Hildegard's writing were elucidated effectively. Such a labor of love."<br>--Susan Bowers Baker, spiritual guide and retired director of the Jesuit Center for Spiritual Growth <p/>"Garthwaite makes quotes from St. Hildegard accessible through her seamless weaving of her words into her own narrative. They have life and are current for today's spiritual seeker. Her personal sharing is interesting and humble, and thus helpful. It is all quite rich."<br>--Cathie Gauthier, spiritual director and author of <i>Nine-Tenths Love</i></p><p></p><br>
