AS FAR AS THE HEART CAN SEE

AS FAR AS THE HEART CAN SEE

Stories To Illuminate The Soul

by

Mark Nepo

If you read my blog with any regularity, you already know that Mark Nepo is one of my most favorite non-fiction authors.  Every morning I read from THE BOOK OF AWAKENING.  In his own words, this book is described in this way: "This book is meant to be of use, to be a companion, a soul friend."  It is that and more.

Mark Nepo's new book has just been published, AS FAR AS THE HEART CAN SEE, Stories To Illuminate the Soul.

The author states:

"Stories help us.

They are teachers.

They are medicine.

They keep us connected to what matters.

They keep us awake."

The intention of this latest Mark Nepo book is described as:  "This book then is an invitation to be in relationship with deep and life-giving material.  The stories gathered here carry seeds of our humaneness.  They delve into the courage to listen to your own life, the gift of vulnerability, the willingness to experiment and explore your own voice, the abiding commitment to respect your own journey and the journeys of others, and the life skill of working with what we are given."

AS FAR AS THE HEART CAN SEE is filled with stories that can be read in any order.  Each story is then followed by individual segments entitled: Journal Questions, Table Questions, and Meditation.  These segments deepen the understanding of the story, encourages the application to your own life, and motivates the reader to share the story while gathered with friends.  It is a delight!

Mark Nepo is also the author of:  FINDING INNER COURAGE, UNLEARNING BACK TO GOD, THE EXQUISITE RISK,  and THE BOOK OF AWAKENING.  He has also written several poetry books and has several recordings.
