Description: There are many ways to open one's heart. The heart is opened in those who love, and yet the heart is injured in those who sorrow. It is a deep well, and he who plumbs its depths can find spiritual wonders. The heart is the locus of the person--emotional, physical, and moral. But over and above all these dimensions, the heart is also the place of spiritual encounter with God.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 101-102) and index.
