Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Drawing deeply from St. Isaac the Syrian and the wisdom of the Christian East, Desire and Wonder explores the mystery of divine eros: the desire for God awakened within the human heart and answered by the immeasurable tenderness of God Himself.Across these three volumes, the spiritual life unfolds as a journey from fear into wonder, from striving into receptivity, from the fragmentation of the self into the simplicity of love. Through prayer, silence, repentance, suffering, and mercy, the soul gradually discovers that the God whom it seeks has already drawn near.At the heart of Desire and Wonder lies a simple conviction: we desire God because God has first desired us.
