God's Dictionary: Divine Definitions for Everyday Enlightenment

Susan Corso's God's Dictionary: Divine Definitions for Everyday Enlightenment is a spiritual etymologist's dream, providing ""the spiritual take on everyday words"" such as disappointment (""not chosen""), companion (""sharing bread together"") or support (""to carry near""). Corso's wordsmithing can have some profound implications, such as when she defines respect as ""to regard again."" She explains that this means that if we want respect from others, we first have to show it to them. Each meditation ends with an ""infinition,"" a resolve to incorporate the word and its idea into daily life. Corso's dictionary is original, fresh and thought-provoking. (May)
