More DescriptionPhyllis Tickle is a prolific author, lecturer, founding religion editor for Publishers Weekly, and commentator on religious matters, whose writing has appealed to readers for six decades. She is especially known for her series, The Divine Hours, popularizing the observance of fixed-hour prayer, and for her analysis of Emergence Christianity, its precedents, history, and challenges. At every stage of her career--reflected here in essays and poems, sermons, lectures, reflections on the words of Jesus and the future of faith--her vocation has been to assist in the human struggle to come to terms with what it means to live a life with and for God. This collection of her "essential spiritual writings" will be a revelation to her newer readers, a treasury for those who have long admired and followed her work.
