Editorial Review: Product Description: Explore how the dormancy and difficulty of winter can be a time of spiritual preparation and transformation. For many, winter is a time of postponed activity--and of shoveling snow, navigating ice, and trying to keep warm.

Too often the years just fly by - we have a been there, scene ... Read More: |
