Eileen Flanagan’s Summary

Through my writing and teaching, I seek to help people live with more trust and less fear. My new book, The Wisdom to Know the Difference (Tarcher/Penguin) explores the last line of The Serenity Prayer and spiritual practices to help us live with serenity, courage, and wisdom. If your group would be interested in a speaker or workshop on this topic, please let me know.

Eileen Flanagan’s Specialties:

I lead workshops on Spiritual Discernment (listening for God's guidance), on Parenting as a Spiritual Practice, and The Wisdom to Know the Difference (between what we can and cannot change). I have also published on these topics
