The Art of Spiritual Writing
Discovering your most authentic writing … and more about yourself on the way
Eirene Palmer and Richard Palmer
Paperback |160 pp |198 x 126 mm
'There’s a lovely phrase at the start of the Anglo-Saxon epic when Beowulf the hero says he is going to ‘unlock his word-hoard’, meaning the treasury of language that will express the essence of his story. You are on a journey of your own, no less epic, to discover and explore the treasure within you. This book offers a delightfully accessible, practical and comprehensive guide to making this journey through writing, beginning with the single step of picking up a pen or opening a laptop. It presents a whole range of different approaches – an invaluable set of keys to help you unlock your own ‘word-hoard’ and let your soul tell her story.'
Who am I? That is one of life’s deepest questions, common to us all, and it can be the work of a lifetime to find the answer. In The Art of Spiritual Writing, Eirene Palmer and Richard Palmer, both published authors and leaders of Christian spiritual retreats, demonstrate how clearer self-awareness can come through the practice of writing. This practical, friendly, transformative book offers a treasure trove of ideas to help you write about your spiritual life from that deep reflective place that is inside each of us. It shows you how you can use in your writing the experience of your own journeys, past, present and future, mapping those areas of unique individual interest. It will help you to discover the value of writing meditative and reflective work, as well as the benefits of writing for therapy and prayer. It also provides invaluable advice, good journalling practices, and tips for encouraging readers to get into the habit of daily writing and reflection.
