Synopsis

Paula D'Arcy talks about some of the sacred crucibles in her life—moments when life took her to places she'd never anticipated and asked her to yield to things that could not be changed. The book includes her story of Morrie Schwartz, of Tuesdays with Morrie, and of the relationship they forged in the final eighteen months of his life. As Morrie wrestled with his imminent death, they both grew to feel a keen sense of their common humanity and a responsibility to give back to this world by helping others discover all that's possible in their lives.This story, and others gathered here, radically challenges one’s understanding of love.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Paula D'Arcy has dared to travel the road of inner (and outer) adventure many times. We are proud to present the paperback and expanded edition of her recent book Sacred Threshold: Crossing the Inner Barrier to a Deeper Love. It contains among other stories the adventure Morrie Schwartz (of Tuesdays with Morrie) invited her to share: he had asked her to accompany him to his death, overcoming professional concerns and crossing the threshold of love itself. The book contains other similarly daring stories of encounters that forced choices between convention and courage, between hesitation and all-out loving.

Widely recognized as an eloquent and powerful speaker and retreat leader, founder of the new WomenSpeak conference, and the author of the best-selling book The Gift of the Red Bird, Paula offers a beautiful and evocative narrative that allows the reader to wonder about the true nature of love. Sacred Threshold invites readers into the deeper places of love that exist when two people cross the inner threshold of honesty and unconventionality.

In Sacred Threshold, Paula invites us to reflect on how we, too, might cross thresholds and participate more profoundly in the meaning of our own lives.
