Soul and the City
WaterBrook Press, Random House imprint:
"In the city there is grit," Marcy writes. And grime and garbage. But her practical tools in every chapter for reflection, discussion, and application help you see--whether you're visiting, working, or dwelling in Philadelphia or Phoenix, New York or Los Angeles, Seattle or Syracuse--that in the city there is also grace."
Praise for Soul and the City:
• Rick Hamlin, Executive Editor of Guideposts and author of Finding God on the A Train: "I actually started reading Marcy Heidish’s Soul and the City on a subway train, and I must say it had exactly the effect she writes about. It gave me peace in the middle of the hurry, the rush, the loud noise of the city.”
• Leigh McLeroy, author of The Beautiful Ache and The Sacred Ordinary: “... a rich and nuanced touring companion to rival any Michelin or Eyewitness guide–usable in any city of the world. Keep it close and...you will meet beauty and holiness no matter where you pause to look.”
• Marianne Sheehan (Brooklyn, N. Y. USA) Amazon.com Book Review: This is a MUST-READ for anyone in search of a concrete spirituality in today's hectic world. I commend Ms.Heidish's in-depth bibliographical research on this engaging topic. Rather than seeing interruptions, delays and inconveniences as reasons to become enraged, the author challenges us to see them as "Gateways" to go within ourselves and deepen our awareness of the presence of God.
Ms. Heidish's personal approach is an invitation to each of us to do the same. She has managed to meld the sacred and the profane. It can be done anywhere and at any time. It is a welcomed idea for the overworked who say that they have no time to reflect or pray in their daily lives. THANK YOU, Ms. Heidish! I have pruchased several copies of this book as gifts for family and friends! Sincerely, Marianne Sheehan
• Sue Kennon, Amazon.com Book Review: Finally, I have found a book that helps me connect to God in this chaotic and fast world! Soul and the City gave me much needed ideas and clues about relieving the sense of being alone in a large city. I have read many spiritual books, but this one was exactly what I needed.
I look forward to more books by Marcy Heidish. She found a gentle way to put me back on track! Thank you, Ms. Heidish!
