“Soulistry” offers readers an opportunity to engage more deeply in the spiritual journey, re-connect with the intangible soul-essence of life and experience rich spiritual growth through a series of over eighty inspirational quotations – signposts to the interior life from ordinary and extraordinary human beings around the world living in different centuries.
