A Gate Ajar

About the Book

“What if,” Dr. Marilyn Gustin asked her retreatants, “What if we asked one question of the gospels: What does Jesus’ teaching mean for the spiritual life? Moral interpretation we’ve heard. What might Jesus’ teaching mean for experiencing God in one’s own heart?” Smiles and nods everywhere. “Wow” and “Yes” and “I wish I knew the answers to that question!” If that question resonates with your own heart, this book is for you. Here Marilyn Gustin explores teachings of Jesus and how they encourage inner life—a hidden life that leads to awareness of life in the Divine Heart.
