Dare To Wear Your Soul On The Outside

Description

In this inspirational book, Gloria Burgess uses the touching story of her father's relationship with William Faulkner as a starting point to explore a classic topic: how to bring forth the character qualities of love, wisdom, trust, faith, gratitude, creative action, vision, and integrity. Burgess declares the sacred promises of legacy living as part of a transformational process that helps us connect to our past by honoring those who came before us, living with intention in the present, and freeing our talents so we can realize our potential. "Dare to Ware Your Soul on the Outside" also includes practical exercises for fostering greater authenticity and purpose in our lives.
