LECTIO DIVINA: Contemplative Awakening and Awareness

If you’re near Olympia, WA come join Sister Lucy Wynkoop and me at St. Placid Priory next Sunday, November 9th for our first BOOK SIGNING! Gather in the lobby of their main building at noon.

Also, if you have read our book and enjoyed it, I would love it if you took the time to post a positive review at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble (or both if you can!). I know many times those reviews have helped me decide to purchase a particular title.
