Synopsis

There is beauty in simplicity. This collection of daily readings helps individuals awaken their spiritual sensitivity by suggesting specific, yet simple ways they can open themselves to God's presence each and every day. Each day's reading begins with a practical suggestion -- such as Try being silent whenever you can, or Pay attention to the humor in the world -- followed by a brief reflection on how the underlying idea can draw us closer to God. Appropriate quotations from Scripture and other religious writings appear in the margins to help stimulate the reader's reflection and imagination in sensitive ways.

The idea is to put one suggestion into practice every day, then move on to the next one, and so on for an entire year. As readers awaken their spiritual sensitivity, they will become more aware of the evidences of God's creative genius in everything their eyes behold.
