The Spirit within Us

Many people today find themselves in situations with which they cannot cope. How often do we have to make decisions for which we feel we don't have sufficient wisdom? How often are we overwhelmed by life’s experiences? How often do we feel: If only I could have enough wisdom and courage to deal with the events, the people, the problems, and the decisions that face me? 

Usually, we have to find our strength from within ourselves. This doesn't happen quickly or by simply wishing for it. Evelyn Capel argues, however, that each one of us has a source of strength within us—it is the spirit of Christ. By developing an active inner life, the spirit within us can be found and brought to consciousness.

However, finding our courage, strength, and wisdom requires thought and care, and in this inspiring book Capel offers practical and compassionate advice. She considers the rhythm of the day, as well as issues of concentration and meditation to help the reader cultivate a richer inner life.
