A guided tour of spiritual autobiography that grants readers new
insights and appreciation of the genre The genre of spiritual
autobiography has flourished ever since Augustine essentially
invented it in the fourth century. In Our Hearts Are Restless,
Richard Lischer-himself the author of two spiritual memoirs-takes
readers on a guided tour of the genre, examining the life writings
of twenty-one figures from the expected (Thomas Merton) to the
surprising (James Baldwin); from the sublime Julian of Norwich and
Emily Dickinson to the outrageous Anne Lamott. Lischer is a
perceptive reader and an engaging guide in the art and craft of
spiritual writing. Our Hearts Are Restless shows readers how
history's most brilliant spiritual writers have sought and found a
pattern of meaning in the face of tragedy, conflict, and the
responsibilities of daily life.
