SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS ON TIME FOR EVERYBODY

Now is the Time looks beyond the boundaries of any one faith or church and draws on the great spiritual and philosophical traditions of east and west.

As Sister Stan focuses on a line of poetry from one of the world's great authors, an idea from a psychotherapist or philosopher, or a proverb from oriental wisdom, she weaves her own thoughts around them in a way that presents them afresh, and allows us to see them from a new perspective.

This is book for everyone battling with today's current climate: young or old, male or female, for the converted, the irreligious or plain disaffected.

Reflective, contemplative and spiritual, it is the perfect tonic to our busy and relentless world...
