Overview

Nancy Hill's Unfolding is a book for anyone seeking deeper knowledge of self and soul, but it is especially a book for women 45 and older. This is often the most creative periods of a woman's life. There are the questions to be answered: Will I continue to grow and thrive? Which of my talents and skills have I left undeveloped? Where do I find meaning in my life? Unfolding is the perfect resource for women longing to explore their spiritual journey. Most self-help books give women advice on how to improve. To a busy, over-committed woman this can feel like just one more demand. Hill takes a more soulful approach by telling stories that speak to women's souls; showing them what might be in the way of living authentically. She delivers her message in the compassionate voice of a wise friend, inspiring and engaging the reader.

Reviews

<br> I have known Nancy Hill as an open-hearted articulate wise woman, but I had no idea she could write with such vivid color, sensual detail and profound reflection. These are stories and contemplative wisdom that will assist the deepest unfolding of women's lives. Thank you Nancy! <br>Oriah Mountain Dreamer, bestselling author of The Invitation <br><br> Nancy Hill taps into deep wisdom with a fresh eye. With a light, almost whimsical touch, she speaks with the language of the soul. I found myself reading and re-reading her metaphors. They not only ring with truth...they called my soul to come out and play. I highly recommend Unfolding . <br>Justine Willis Toms, Ph.D. , co-host of New Dimensions Radio and Author of Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World <br><br> Nancy Hill's writing is intriguing and obviously needed as much for men as the women of our world--if not more, Joseph Chilton Pearce, bestselling author of The Crack in the Cosmic Egg and The Biology of Transcendence
