"The Soul in Balance is a visually breathtaking and spiritually nourishing book. In these pages, the authors invite the reader to share their vision of the gardens of Washington Cathedral, here illuminated by brief spiritual and Biblical texts. The photographs and accompanying meditations move us into quiet and sometimes surprising places of reflection. The gardens of Washington Cathedral make up one of this country's great urban green spaces. They are part of the Cathedral close, a 57 acre preserve that is visited by almost a million people each year. Visitors from all countries and faiths come to these gardens to find beauty, solitude, and renewal. The book's Botanical Notes describing the historical and Biblical significance of the Cathedral's plants and trees will intrigue gardeners and non-gardeners alike. Says Abigail Trafford, author and syndicated columnist, "This book is a magic union between images and words. The text expands the photographs; the photographs illuminate the text. Together they open the doors to the spiritual life." - from the inner front jacket flap. Signed by Author(s).
