What’s a Kitchen Mystic? It’s a
person who entertains an outlook on life that is located somewhere between
the thinking of Joseph Campbell and Erma Bombeck. It’s where the cosmos
meets the kitchen sink and where the rubber hits the road when it comes to
living a spiritual life. This pocket-sized book is a collection of sixteen
rich, poetic essays that weave a needed synthesis between common sense spirituality
and the wisdom of traditional religion, East and West. You are invited to join
Mary Hayes-Grieco in learning how to perceive the Divine in ordinary things
and how to put spiritual principles into action: in the workplace, on the street,
in our families.
