Embracing the Spirit Within

Inspirational Stories and Reflections by E.V. Elder

A journey of discovery and revelation...

A passion for life resonates in every heart. We experience it as a deep longing for union with some Greater Power. Deeper still is God's yearning for us. And this mutual desire, the birthright of us all, is our spirituality.

Embracing the Spirit Within is an exceptional blend of personal stories, biblical passages, poetry, and meditative reflections. It expounds on the transformations that characterize life and the unwavering Love that empowers us to discover our own inner truth, goodness, and beauty.

At the heart of the book is a timeless message: The more we trust our inner light, the greater our contribution to the world.
