A Journey to Your True Self
This long-awaited book from best-selling spiritual guide Joyce Rupp brings new life to the ageless spiritual image of the door, weaving insights from East and West with the wisdom of contemporary spiritual writers, poets, and novelists in a practical format that is just right for contemporary readers. Structured as a daily prayer guide for everyday use over six weeks, each day offers a thematic reflection, a guided meditation, an original prayer, a thoughtful question, and a related scripture quote. A built-in guide for small groups makes this the perfect resource for groups of all kinds as well as individuals.
“Open the Door is vintage Joyce Rupp. Her spiritual depth and command of rich resources enable her to engage and invite to the deep heart’s core. The daily practices she outlines are like latchkeys to the soul; there we may find our true self in the presence of God. This is the most life-giving door you will ever open. Though the key is on the inside, the locksmith Rupp will help.”
