In Our Hearts Are Restless, Richard Lischer takes readers on a guided tour of spiritual autobiography, examining the life writings of twenty-one figures from the obvious (Thomas Merton) to the surprising (James Baldwin); and from the ancient (Augustine) to the contemporary (Anne Lamott). Readers will come away with new insights into these figures' lives but also a new appreciation of the art and craft of spiritual writing.
