To have the deep love of a friend is to have the shelter in which to embody more and more of the essence that we each are. In her book Gunilla Norris shows how in holding each other with trust and compassion our shells fall away and we emerge into the world as freer beings. Participating in a true friendship is profound and holy work. This book is a gift for the journey.

Reviews

"Gunilla Norris has gifted us with a marvelous little book on creating and nurturing authentic friendships. Read this book slowly-like a prayer book. The poetry of her words will bless you with every page-turn. Sheltered in the Heart sings of a resilient faith lifted out of the dance of life. I joyfully recommend it."

-Macrina Wiederkehr, author of Abide: Keeping Vigil with the Word of God

"In her graceful, elegant, and pensive writing style, Gunilla Norris mines the spiritual depths of this intimate relationship and challenges us to open ourselves fully to its emotional radiance and precious beauty. In these times of increasing social isolation, we all need to be nurtured by steady friends who are with us for the long haul."

-Frederic Brussat, co-author of Spiritual Literacy

"Like a master diamond cutter, Norris deftly works her words to reveal the myriad facets of the mystery of sacred friendship in all its grace and durability. What she offers are the luminous contours of life's most precious gem, whose worth is beyond calculation, whose every feature refracts not just light, but enlightenment."

-Kathleen Deignan
