3 posts | 5 read
From the bestselling author of "The Secret Life of Bees" and the new novel "The Invention of Wings" (Viking, January 2014) comes a thoughtful, revelatory book of writings on self and spirit Before she won an international readership with her novels, Sue Monk Kidd was best known for her smart, passionate spiritual writings. Now many of those early stories and essays (most of which first appeared in "Guideposts") are collected in one volume, organized around thirteen spiritual motifs. In "Firstlight," Kidd charts her emergence as a writer and seeker; reflects on her roles as wife, mother, daughter, nurse, and artist; and assesses what she has learned in settings as far-flung as Africa and her own home. The result is an intimate, uplifting book, filled with moments of recognition and discovery.

The mayor in my city wants to start a book club and has asked me for a list of suggested titles for adults that are “inspirational, self-help, and/or stories of personal triumph.“ So, Litsy Collective - can you share your favorites? Using this pic of this outstanding cat to get your juices flowing!

TheNerdyProfessor I read Maybe You Should Talk to Someone this summer and loved it. A good book for self-reflection, though it is also emotional. 5y

8little_paws OMG I am dying over you using this picture for this post. This might be too political but An American Family is certainly an inspirational story. 5y
