Hope As Old As Fire

"Bishop Steven Charleston is a voice of hope for our times. I pray many will listen to that voice in this collection of his writings." - Archbishop Desmond TutuThis book is a collection of meditations, but in reality, it is much more than that. It is a spiritual journey.Over the course of a full year, before dawn each day, these meditations appeared like individual steps in a journey toward meaning. They were written uniquely, spontaneously, as part of one person's deep devotional life.Over time, as they were posted each morning on Facebook, a community began to gather around them. People began to discover them as helpful additions to their own daily life of faith and prayer. People from many traditions, many backgrounds, but all sharing these single points of light along the way.They speak to each person in a different way and with a different voice. They are the free gift of thought to anyone who is mindful about living with spiritual awareness and prayerful intention.Please enjoy these reflections.Enjoy the journey.And may God go with you."Poet and prophet both, Charleston will draw you into unimagined ways of seeing, and nudge you into nearness with earth and spirit alike. Beware the reading, you will be transformed!" - The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
