About the Program:
If you have a desire to renew your spiritual direction in life, Connie
Zweig will inspire you to find your spiritual match. In her recent book,
The Holy Longing: The Hidden Power of Spiritual Yearning, Zweig
writes about the universal yearning for a life with faith and a
relationship with God. She also uncovers the dark side of holy longing
and why some people abandon religion at some point in their life only to
replace it with other worldly desires. Are you one of these people who
feels a yearning beneath all other yearnings; are you disillusioned with
traditional religion only to realize that your faith is now the one
thing missing from your life? Find out ways in which you can rekindle
the flame of faith.
