Pathways to Relationship: Four Weeks on Simplicity, Gentleness, Humility, Friendship

Well-known author Robert F. Morneau helps readers to focus on their relationships to others and thereby build up a better society. He offers a month worth of daily reflections on simplicity, gentleness, humility, and friendship. Each week opens with a song or hymn, followed by passages for meditation from a variety of poets, novelists, philosophers, and theologians. Each day’s entry concludes with a question and short prayer. In the words of Raissa Maritain, ‘Tomorrow will bring a good morning if today we strive to live virtuously!’ Morneau provides reflections on a diverse range of authors, including Henri Nouwen, Francis de Sales, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, Jessica Powers, Evelyn Underhill, Albert Schweitzer, and many others. The volumes in NCP’s 7 X 4 series offer a meditation a day for four weeks, a bite of food for thought, a reflection that lets a reader ponder the spiritual significance of each and every day. Small enough to slip into a purse or coat pocket, these books fit easily into everyday routines.
