From the book jacket: “Our inner life of thoughts and feelings can make life so sweet, or so challenging. When we consider past successes or future plans for a good life, or when we experience feelings of deep love and great joy, life is very good. But in times of crisis, our inner life can turn on us. We can beat up on ourselves about the past or worry ourselves sick about the future. We can be overwhelmed with feelings of anger, anxiety, or fear that just won’t go away. In this book, Charles Ortloff offers us a path through these challenging times with our inner life. He uses simple language, compelling stories, and easy to follow practices to guide us into making friends with our inner life. We all can find that soft landing after a bumpy ride.”

Join us in the Looking Within Center for this very special celebration of Charles Ortloff’s newly published book! You’ll have a chance to purchase a book, have the author sign your book, hear Charles share thoughts and stories and answer any questions about the book, and hear some hints from him on using the book. Our evening will be made even more special with hors devours prepared by Gloria Dei member Randy Jones.

There is no cost for this event. If you wish to purchase a softcover book ($16.99), bring cash or a check made out to Gloria Dei to the event.
