We spend lifetimes looking for our spiritual path as if it is something lost that we must find -- we seek, rather than see that we are always on a spiritual journey. While we cannot step off the path, we can certainly get lost and disoriented. Way of the Winding Path offers simple, practical steps for experiencing life as a spiritual pilgrimage, and serves as a map guiding you to find your way with ease, grace, and clarity. Through exploration of the labyrinth as a metaphor for life, discover the essential skills of getting centered, listening to the voice of God, remembering who you are, taking action in divine alignment, celebrating transitions, and ritualizing everyday actions.

Things are as they are because in no other way can they be. Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life: A Spiritual Journey of Learning and Self-discovery, the moving autobiography of author Antonietta Francini, MD, tells the doctor's story of surviving World War II, battling cancer, and finding the healing power of mystical and esoteric teachings during a trip to India. Growing up in Rome, Dr. Francini experiences firsthand the cruelties of World War II, whose sights and sounds make her hate God for allowing such suffering. At the age of twenty, she leaves Italy to begin a new life in Venezuela, enrolling at the university as a medical student and receiving her degree four years later. Dr. Francini soon completes specialized training in gynecology, gets married, and starts a family. But in the fall of 1964, drastic changes in her health lead to a diagnosis of invasive thyroid cancer. After radical surgery to remove the tumor, Dr. Francini still blames God for all suffering-hers and others'-and she knows she needs to recover her faith. She embarks on a spiritual quest for peace, an adventure she shares in her multifaceted autobiography, Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life.

The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.
