Following the inspirational and often thought-provoking path of her first book, Embracing the Mystery: the Sacred Unfolding in Ordinary People and Everyday Lives, psychotherapist, interfaith spiritual director, and author Meredith Jordan continues to pursue and examine the many complex and fruitful aspects of the spiritual journey. In Standing Still: Hearing the Call to a Spirit-Centered Life, she probes those times when we are challenged by life events—occasionally even forced—to stop everything, wait for our next instructions, and listen quietly as those next steps are made clear. Masterfully weaving spiritual wisdom into the stories of seekers in their everyday lives, Jordan teaches that the Source of All Life is continually generating new opportunities for us to expand and mature spiritually, if we only see that these opportunities most often arrive “disguised as our lives.”

Embracing the Mystery is a collection of spiritually compelling reflections about moments when the spirit of mystery is revealed in everyday life and brings with it an extraordinary grace, where we are irrevocably changed.

“If you’re seeking dialogue with someone who is genuinely wise and trustworthy about matters of spirit, you will likely rejoice, perhaps weep, and at times laugh out loud while reading Meredith Jordan’sfine new book. Written in a wonderfully intelligent and accessible style, this collection of reflections on ‘living a spirited life’ gently invites the reader into an experience of deepening contemplation about spirituality, personal integrity and hope for transformation. Jordan gently nudges us to be attentive and moved to respond to things that truly matter. After all this probing, pondering and prayerful openness, what one comes away with is a more heartfelt ‘yes!’ to life and a renewed energy to make a difference in a world that’s groaning for renewal.”

"With Embracing the Mystery, Meredith Jordan invites us to see the world peopled with sacred children, emissary hummingbirds, predator foxes, divine visitors, and dear friends who often ‘show up’ when needed but also fail us. This book is a s much about failures, hers and ours, as about the times we shine. She teaches that God is all this, all of us, and that ‘there is no place where God is not.’"
"Meredith Jordan lifts the sacred out of the everyday moments and presents it to us in small gifts so we can join her in embracing the mystery. Chapter by Chapter, and story by story, she invites readers into this special alchemy until we find ourselves able to put the book down and see the world infused with revelations."

"Meredith Jordan's Be at Perfect Peace CD has been a great comfort to my mother , who has recently had a stroke. Meredith's voice is soothing, and the words are both calming and uplifting. The meditations are valuable aids for the feelings of depression and helplessness and 'why me' that my mother is going through, as well as helping me and my family deal with the challenges of our new roles as supporting caregivers. After listening to the disc myself, I find a wellspring of renewed hope and a sense of peace."
