The Divine Heart

"In The Divine Heart, Colette Lafia invites us to enter the vastness and intimacy of God's love, offering seven simple yet powerful ways to deepen our awareness and open our hearts. This small book with a big heart shows us how to live in the flow of Divine love." -- Richard Rohr, author of The Universal Christ, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation

"During these turbulent times, we need the steadying voice of feminine wisdom more urgently than ever. In this luminous book, spiritual guide Colette Lafia offers the fruits of her tenderly cultivated inner life to feed people of all genders who thirst for a direct encounter with the embodiment of love, which she recognizes as our own true nature." -- Mirabai Starr, translator of John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, author of Wild Mercy

Spiritual director Colette Lafia tells us that at the core of our being there is an ever-flowing love relationship with God, and it's here we find meaning in our lives. Beautifully expressed, with examples and awakenings from the author's own journey, The Divine Heart offers seven "invitations," principles of spiritual practice that awaken us to the ever-abundant flow of Divine love. Lafia is a San Francisco-based writer and workshop facilitator, and adjunct faculty at the Spiritual Directors' Institute at Mercy Center, Burlingame, California. She is author of Comfort & Joy: Simple Ways to Care for Ourselves and Others and Seeking Surrender. She blogs at colettelafia.com.
