Morris encourages readers to gain personal insight by looking at their first or reactive emotions - anger, sadness, frustration--and he persuades us to move beyond that first reaction to cultivate a prayer of the second breath. By discerning how to overcome obstacles to spiritual growth, Morris helps us open our spirits to deeper joy and love.
Morris includes a variety of spiritual exercises to facilitate our growth. Wrestling with Grace is a "how-to" manual about loving yourself, others, the world around you, and God, especially on the Thursday afternoons of life, when the going gets tough.
