This soul-centered program is written by respected artist and writer Julia Cameron. She narrates the introduction, and her startling discovery of the power of prayer back when she hit rock bottom as an alcoholic. We then transition to the smoothly capable narrator Eliza Foss, who explains the rest of Cameron's thesis on how prayer can help stimulate a creative life. Her style lends itself to the spiritual principles being outlined, which expand upon Cameron's wildly popular book THE ARTIST’S WAY. Foss is a clear-voiced guide for this ecumenical exploration of how supplication can help ground a working creative. For fans of Cameron, this will be an interesting foray into her latest ideas.

From the Publisher
Praise for Seeking Wisdom:
In Seeking Wisdom, the prolific Julia Cameron continues her work as a masterful guide, offering a path of creative recovery by asking us to personalize our sense of God through our own intimate practice of prayer. Both grounded and innovative, this book casts writing as praying on the page to everything larger than us. Bring your whole self to the journey of this book and you will touch the eternal link between creativity and spirituality. This book will help you come alive. It will help you play your instrument and sing your song.
—Mark Nepo, author of The Book of Soul and Finding Inner Courage
"Julia Cameron’s new book, Seeking Wisdom, carries on the author’s tradition of magically changing lives, hearts, habits and attitudes. Julia writes about her own life and about writing and living and in this six-week guide to contemplation, prayer and seeking the living presence, Julia does again what she has done since writing the Artist’s Way—she leads us into the real questions and answers that lie in our path and points to contemplation of the Higher Power in our creative inner lives and points us to the spiritual approach—prayer, work, writing, and living. A master of her craft of giving to others what her inner guides have taught her, I promise you will come away from reading her new book, as I did, with renewed creative zest and energy, as well as insight into your own spiritual possibilities as a creative person. Get this book—Seeking Wisdom; it holds magical wisdom and genuine truth."
—Judy Collins, Singer, Songwriter, Author
