Product Description

Book Description
This beautifully written book provides a fresh perspective for people who long for a richer experience with the presence of God and deeper meaning in everyday life.

From the Back Cover
Within our hearts is a longing--a profound cry of the soul for something our theologies can only point us to, never replace.

Intimacy with God.

Something that has no human or earthly substitute.

Yet, if we pause to listen, we will discover how often God speaks to us through human and earthly means. He stands at the windows of the easily overlooked and the unlikely, tapping at the pane. He beckons us to places of encounter where we learn how well he understands the language of our hearts.

At unexpected windows of the soul, we hear the voice of God.

Windows of the Soul is a rare book, resounding with the cry for communion that is both ours and God’s. With passion, honesty, and beauty, Ken Gire calls us to a fresh sensitivity to God’s voice speaking through the unexpected parables that surround us: a child’s need for significance . . . the misunderstood sadness of a van Gogh
masterpiece . . . the eloquence of sunlight dancing on water . . .

Gire points to a world infused with the voice of the One who can transform our backyard shrubs into burning bushes lit by his presence. His voice penetrates the raw material of our daily lives, speaking through Scripture and prayer, a painting or a poem, the remark of a friend or a night sky filled with stars.

Windows of the Soul will open your eyes to a fresh way of seeing, hearing, and enjoying the presence of God in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh Air for tired souls, 7 Jan 2003
By C. Meban "Ban Me" (Belfast, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Read it, if you can get your hands on it. If you own it, lend it!
This book is in shortish, devotional chapters, each closed with a short prayer that beautifully sums up the reader's likely response to the content. Life-enhancing, hope-giving literature, I shall be looking avidly for Gire's other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Above all, this book is thoughtful......, 25 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I am an avid reader, and have worked for around five years in a christian bookshop. In that time I have read a considerable volume of contemporary christian literature, but "Windows of the Soul" by Ken Gire would have to be among my top five books.

So many christian books are formulaic, and after you've read a handful, you hear the same concepts explained and the same verses quoted. Gire, however, has written a book that is challenging, and yet easy to read. A book that suggests to the reader that there are more ways to experience God than in church, prayer or bible study.

Gire maintains that the hand of God can be seen in so many ways in the world around us and in the lives of other people. These "sightings" are what Gire refers to as windows.

If you are looking to experience God in new ways, or are seeking after God and have no clue as to where to begin, Windows of the Soul is an excellent starting point.
