A wonderful meditation

This beautiful little book stirred me when I first read it. I reread it again recently, and I am riveted by the author's insight into the critical importance of having a a guiding story and metaphor to help us on our human journey. It is true, as the author says (p. 63) that there are multiple stories to choose from today, but those options only add to much angst for many. I align myself with the author's choice: the Bible, especially the New Testament, where the picture and story and values for our human journey are presented in vivid imagery and compelling narrative. The Gospel does it for me. It's my light and my hope.
