Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Neil

People at work wanted to read this and discuss it together, which we'll start doing next month. And so I wish I enjoyed it a lot more than I did. It's not terrible, it's just a little syrupy for my tastes. One challenge for me as I read it is that I didn't know anything about Ken Gire, but his writi......more

Goodreads review by Jeff

Windows of the Soul is an incredibly powerful read! My wife and I read Windows of the Soul at the recommendation of a friend. I didn't have a lot of expectations. But, as we progressed through the book, it became evident why this book has become one of my friends' favorites and why it is now one of o......more

Goodreads review by Claxton

Sometimes sentimental, but I love how Gire can start a sentence & even halfway through I have no idea where it's going, & it regularly ends in pleasant surprise, making connections I didn't see coming. He's probably too soft & even sappy for many (esp. men), but so well read -- this work is a tapest......more

Goodreads review by David

This is a book that I have had on my bookshelf for a long time, and despite it being repeatedly recommended by others, especially during a period of prolonged depression, I never got round to reading it. I'm so glad I now have and would recommend it to anyone. It has hints of Philip Yancey's style a......more
