Spiritual Serendipity: Cultivating and Celebrating the Art of the Unexpected

Spiritual Serendipity: Cultivating and Celebrating the Art of the Unexpected by Eyre, Richard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780684838601.

The word serendipity was coined by the eighteenth-century British writer Horace Walpole, who defined it as "that quality of mind which, through awareness, sagacity, and good fortune, allows one to frequently discover something good while seeking something else." It is an attitude of mind and heart that attracts and enhances joy. As a mental approach, serendipity can energize your life by enabling you to balance spontaneity and structure and allowing you to harness time, not manage it. As a spiritual quality, serendipity can create a bridge between your will and the will of the Divine, allowing your life to be guided and open to change. Now, New York Times bestselling author Richard Eyre offers up a delightful and poetic book that shows you how to develop this serendipity of the spirit, how to relish rather than resist change, and how to move from where you are to where, perhaps, God wants you to be.
