Firstlight
“At the core of personal spiritual writing is a hungering for wholeness, for self, for meaning. The question of “Who am I?” reverberates quietly in these pages as does a willingness to be known.”
From the Introduction to Firstlight
This beautiful and evocative collection offers readers an intimate glimpse into the early years of Sue Monk Kidd’s journey as both writer and spiritual seeker. The book is compiled from a wide range of inspirational and spiritual writings published over a dozen years in Guideposts magazine, Weavings, and other publications.
Organized around thirteen motifs, such as Awareness, Simplicity of Spirit, Compassion, Severe Grace and Letting Go, the book is interwoven with thoughtful essays on the spiritual life, reflections on a stream of ordinary, sacred moments, and compelling, personal stories about the author’s quest for meaning, her years as a young mother and a nurse, her marriage, travels and childhood.
In every life there are moments of “first light,” when one’s heart begins to open and new awareness dawns. Firstlight draws readers to embrace their own moments of awakening and renews the mystery of being alive in a vividly sacred world.
