| "Home" is a powerful spiritual theme, particularly in uncertain and difficult times. In Come Home, trusted spiritual director Marie Schwan blends insights from the contemplative tradition with Ignatian and twelve-step spirituality, gently guiding readers to discover and embrace the wonder of God's presence within them. Come Home is an ideal book for parish retreats, small groups, staff development, and as a recommended resource for parishioners seeking spiritual direction. |

"Sometimes little thin books seem quick and easy to read. But Marie
Schwan's book is deceptive; though thin, its profundity takes time as
it plumbs the depth of our hearts.
In a world frenetic and compulsive, this beautiful delicate journey to
our center allures us into a home, most important, personal, necessary
for each of us. Either to slip by too frantically or to presume that we
have learned it a long time ago, deceives and belies us.
This most profound center of ourselves is never known enough by anyone.
So this important slim book will slow us down, will invite us
reverently into a glowing tabernacle without which none of us
understands uniquely who we are. In a world so hastily and superficial,
this book arrives just on time to invite us into a quiet home that not
only can renew our thirsting heart but also can puncture the alarming,
destructive violence of today's society."
