Throughout history people have walked the ancient archetypal spirals of labyrinths as a spiritual practice. Walking the path into the centre of the labyrinth is a metaphor for finding one's own centre or finding God. Walking out of the labyrinth is a symbol of being reborn into the world. Carole Ann Camp's insightful, meditative book deepens our understanding of this process and gives us practical guidance. With Bible readings, prayers, and stories from the author's many years of experience with the power of the labyrinth, this book supports us as we take this journey of faith.
