Descripción editorial
At long last, here is the paperback edition of beloved columnist and author Susan L. Taylor's bestselling collection of spiritual writings on overcoming the challenges of everyday life.
Revealing the spiritual lessons Susan has learned first-hand from grappling with the challenges and difficulties in her own life, Lessons in Living is a celebration of the journey of life that has already become a classic. Written in the anecdotal style that has made Susan's "In the Spirit" column the most popular feature of Essence magazine, Lessons in Living addresses the themes that have been her unique territory for over a decade: self empowerment, the exploration of love and self-worth, and issues of faith and commitment.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Taylor, editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, in this new collection of inspirational writings, develops themes that marked her earlier book, In the Spirit, a collection of her popular columns. Intermingled with personal details of career, divorce, parenting and remarriage are Taylor's strategies for finding inner peace amid the stress of contemporary living. Borrowing from diverse cultural and religious traditions and emphasizing the necessity of honoring oneself, Taylor espouses a practical spirituality: ``Life is our finishing school.'' When she describes the spiritual armor she dons each day in her busy life, she projects a quiet assurance that has won her a wide audience, particularly in the black community. This affirmative philosophy is attractively packaged with ruled blank pages at the end for readers' personal use. 100,000 first printing; author tour; first serial to Essence; Literary Guild alternate.
