More About This Book

Overview

At long last, here is the paperback edition of beloved columnist and author Susan L. Taylor's bestselling collection of spiritual writings on overcoming the challenges of everyday life.

Revealing the spiritual lessons Susan has learned first-hand from grappling with the challenges and difficulties in her own life, Lessons in Living is a celebration of the journey of life that has already become a classic. Written in the anecdotal style that has made Susan's "In the Spirit" column the most popular feature of Essence magazine, Lessons in Living addresses the themes that have been her unique territory for over a decade: self empowerment, the exploration of love and self-worth, and issues of faith and commitment.

The editor-in-chief of Essence magazine--whose column "In the Spirit" reaches millions of readers each month--offers a collection of insightful and spiritually uplifting advice and affirmations which are centered around the questions of faith and spirituality that arise from the challenges of everyday life. 2-color printing throughout.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
Taylor, editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, in this new collection of inspirational writings, develops themes that marked her earlier book, In the Spirit, a collection of her popular columns. Intermingled with personal details of career, divorce, parenting and remarriage are Taylor's strategies for finding inner peace amid the stress of contemporary living. Borrowing from diverse cultural and religious traditions and emphasizing the necessity of honoring oneself, Taylor espouses a practical spirituality: ``Life is our finishing school.'' When she describes the spiritual armor she dons each day in her busy life, she projects a quiet assurance that has won her a wide audience, particularly in the black community. This affirmative philosophy is attractively packaged with ruled blank pages at the end for readers' personal use. 100,000 first printing; author tour; first serial to Essence; Literary Guild alternate. (Nov.)
Library Journal
Without touting any one religion, Taylor, editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, offers essentially spiritual essays here. These nine pieces speak in a conversational tone, like a trusted friend guiding one through emotionally tough times, leading one to comprehend the truths of life and death. Each essay is encouraging and uplifting but challenging. Taylor doesn't rail against readers for things in their past but encourages all to center themselves on the presence of God in them. One of the suggestions for getting in touch with the guiding inner self and feeling the presence of God is to keep a "life's agenda" notebook and refer to it daily. Taylor does not have an exclusively African American viewpoint, but there are intermittent historical references, and two essays deal with inner cities, crime, and murdered children, problems most often associated with urban black populations. Well recommended for public libraries.-Susan Burdick, Reading, Pa.
