In Fire in the Soul, Richard L. Morgan offers prayers to God for help in meeting the following late-life challenges: discovering God's call at retirement, moving to deeper contemplation, accepting aging, discerning the meaning of stories, mentoring, facing loss and death, and redeeming suffering. Morgan includes personal prayers (most written after his own retirement) as well as classic prayers from John Calvin, Saint Augustine, John Donne, and Teresa of Avila. A constant spiritual guide for the later years, Fire in the Soul is a valuable guide for mid lifers as well as clergy, social workers, and other professionals who work with older adults.

What Our Readers Say |
||||||||
| Mimi Sherman, from the Charlotte Observer, writes of this book, "In a person's later life, prayer is not a luxury; it is an imperative priority...one thing necessary, Morgan see four choices for people advancing in years, "Whine, decline, recline... or shine." Fire in the Soul offers from many sources, and shows how the book of prayers can act like a road map, enriching one's relationship with God. | A retired teacher, Lottie Swink, wrote of this book, Fire in the Soul is not a book about prayer; it is prayer itself reflected from a prismatic glass filled with a rich diversity of writings both in origin and content. The experience-filled wisdom of Richard Morgan himself makes the work in its totality original and unique. This latest contribution to the field of spiritual literature can become a rare gift in the journey of faith for anyone." |
