THE SECRET GARDEN OF SPIRITUALITY is a book about hope and living life well and purposefully. It offers glimpses into eternity and explores in a whimsical way the secret garden of the soul. There are words of advice and commonsense reflections and recollections and an abiding belief that faith enables us to find the heaven within and to live that out in the world.  As young people ready to leave school and step out into the world they need good counsel. They need faith in themselves, in each other, in the world beyond the safe and known. This is a book for young people and their parents, a book for teachers and the older faithful who need a new way of looking at things, a book for anyone who believes there is more to life than the here and now. The secret garden of each person's spirituality is unique and inviolable; a place to nurture the interior self, a place where goodness can grow.
