Letting
go isn't just saying good-bye to people, places, and things-as important as they
may be. It's also about letting go of attitudes and ideas-such as perfectionism,
resentment, worry, and judgmentalism-that keep us from growing in our relationships
with God and others. Letting go is crucial to our spiritual-and emotional-health.
In
How Can I Let Go If I Don't Know I'm Holding On?, Linda Douty examines a variety
of letting-go struggles and offers ways to move on to a deeper spirituality. Weaving
together her own experiences and the stories of others, she offers strategies
for letting go of the things that keep us from a deeper relationship with the
Divine. With practical suggestions and updated versions of spiritual classics
such as lectio divina, plus questions for study and reflection, this book is a
rich resource for personal spiritual growth as well as for group study.
