Re-Creating a Life: Telling Our Most Life-Giving Story

In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
--Dante, Divine Comedy

Dante penned this in the 12th Century and it remains part of the human condition today.

At some point, in the middle of almost every life, there comes a time when all that once seemed straightforward becomes obscured. In this disquieting time we sense a disparity between what we thought our lives were going to be and what they actually are. In her new book, RE-CREATING A LIFE: Learning How to Tell Our Most Life-Giving Story, author Dr. Diane Millis offers a set of questions and strategies for telling new stories about our lives that more closely reflect not only who we are, but our possibilities.

Millis shows us how we can discover a more promising story of our lives through reflection, writing, and conversation with others. She emphasizes that it takes a community to learn how to tell our most life-giving story. We need at least one or more conversation partners who can help us to realize new and richer aspects of our stories and ourselves.

Our spiritual and societal well-being stems from the stories we share. In an age where more and more people are seeking greater belonging, meaning, purpose, and unity, RE-CREATING A LIFE is like an illuminated path marker gently guiding us to latent possibility.
