Rhythms of Growth: 365 Meditations to Nurture the Soul

Linda Douty uses the seasons of the year to illustrate natural trends in our spiritual lives. For winter, she writes about themes of rootedness, fallow times, reflection; for spring-- awakening, planting, new growth, storms; for summer-- bearing fruit, abundance, blossoming, weeding, and pests; for fall-- letting go, sifting, harvesting. Douty's conversational style and ability to bring together the everyday and the holy make this book appealing for the person who wants a devotional book that is applicable to everyday life.
