NEWS FLASH Healing the Heart of Democracy named one of the Best Books of 2011 on contemplation and social activism. (Spirituality & Practice) NEWS FLASH Parker J. Palmer named one of 25 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World people who don’t just think out loud but who walk their talk on a daily basis. (The Utne Reader)

HOPE FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IN AN ERA OF DEEP DIVISIONS In Healing the Heart of Democracy, Parker J. Palmer quickens our instinct to seek the common good and gives us the tools to do it. This timely, courageous and practical work intensely personal as well as political is not about them, those people in Washington D.C., or in our state capitals, on whom we blame our political problems.

It’s about us, We the People, and what we can do in everyday settings like families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations and workplaces to resist divide and conquer politics and restore a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

In the same compelling, inspiring prose that has made him a bestselling author, Palmer explores five habits of the heart that can help us restore democracy’s foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other: (1) An understanding that we are all in this together.

(2) An appreciation of the value of otherness. (3) An ability to hold tensions in life giving ways. (4) A sense of personal voice and agency. (5) A capacity to create community. Healing the Heart of Democracyis an eloquent and empowering call for We the People to reclaim our democracy. Publishers Weekly, in a Starred Review, said “This beautifully written book deserves a wide audience that will benefit from discussing it.
