Presented in simple yet strikingly memorable language, the messages in Saying Yes to Life (Even the Hard Parts) provide inspiration for each day, and invitations to go more deeply into the spiritual life.

Insightful and never convoluted, Saying Yes to Life (Even the Hard Parts) is a great companion for life's long journey.
