Life is difficult he says, and the journey to spiritual growth is a long one. Here he helps us explore the very loving nature of relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. He helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love, how to become a more sensitive parent, and ultimately how to become one's own true self. |
