Genuine, life-giving spirituality calls us to be our best selves and to bring out the best in others, each and every day. It calls us to careâ"for God, others, and ourselves. In Practicing Presence, popular spiritual writer Kerry Walters shows us how to integrate care into our daily lives on the road to happiness and holiness. As Walters reveals, we do not need to be professional caregivers to nurture a creative, intimate, and meaningful openness to our deepest selves, to others, and to God. We simply need to be âpresentâ to who God is and who we are as images of God.
