* Thoughtful exploration of midlife spirituality through the prism
of nature walks * Study questions for each section Roger Owens,
facing a "dark night of the soul" as he turned forty and entered
midlife, was en-couraged by his spiritual director to think of it
instead as a "threshold of discovery." Rather than go on a grand
adventure like walking the Appalachian Trail or the Camino de
Santiago, he decid-ed to mark his fortieth year by taking forty
walks in a nearby nature preserve. With patience and attention, he
explored the concerns rising with him: the inevitability of death,
his boredom with life, and the reality of his changing faith,
changing images of God, and changing sense of self. The result is
forty short chapters that weave together insightful stories of his
walks with accessi-ble history and practices of Christian
spirituality and the lives of saints. This field guide to the
spirituality of midlife facilitates readers' personal journeys
through ques-tions of faith, purpose, and relationships. It is not
solely a memoir, but a work of wisdom litera-ture that uses
engaging first-person narratives to explore universal themes and
spiritual inquiry. Wise and imaginative, and with study questions
for each section, Threshold of Discovery is the companion guide for
a thoughtful Christian journey.
