The Gate of Heaven is Everywhere

"Over these six decades of searching for the Wild Divinity, two contemplative truths have become clear. The home of God is within me, at the center of my being. And as I practice that Presence, I can be gifted with seeing the Gate of Heaven everywhere! This is my contemplative quest."

Through compelling stories and personal narratives, William Thiele thrusts the reader into a world where sacredness can be found anywhere and encounters with the Wild Divinity are available everywhere. The author invites readers to prepare for discovering gates of heaven in everyday experience through a fundamental spiritual attitude of holding space for the sacred to appear within and all around us. Poignant anecdotes become lessons in contemplative leadership and an invitation into a contemplative quest toward personal transformation and spiritual discovery.
