"Robert Wicks has a unique, gifted spiritual vocabulary. Very few writers have his ability to weave together the special and the common, the academic and the street, the reverent and the humorous, and depth of spiritual insight with robust common sense. You won't be disappointed."
--Ronald Rolheiser, author, The Holy Longing: The Search for a Christian Spirituality
"The Art of Kindness is like a set of prayer beads, each story an invitation to pause and be with the joys and sorrows of life in ways that call forth strength and possibility--an ideal resource for daily prayer and reflection."
--Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, author, A Midwinter God: Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness
"These short reflections give readers a glimpse into the life and work of Robert Wicks and serve as a springboard for deeper meditation on life lessons and spiritual growth.

There is something here for everyone."
