Mike Riddell has been one of my favourite authors for a very long time. I just bought a copy of Sacred Journey: Spiritual Wisdom for Times of Transition
“This inspiring and challenging book is for anyone who has ever asked “What now?” or “What will be left of my life when I am gone?”. ... In an engrossing blend of reflection and story, the author encourages us to regain our capacity for wonder and to discover that unique gift which only we can bring to the world”
In the book, Riddell explores the adventure that is the Christian journey and the journey of life, in general. I love one of the images he uses to convey the unknown nature of the journey…
“We are all of us trapeze artists; to get from one side to the other we have to be willing to let go of the trapeze we are holding, and hang on for a few moments in suspended animation before we grasp the next support on our own wild ride into the unknown.”
Mike Riddell draws on wisdom and stories from a variety of sources including Anthony De Mello
Highly recommended to anyone who is questioning and exploring and trying to refocus on what really matters on our journey.
