Souls at Work follows upon the author's Souls at Rest and is an invitation to reflect deeply on the processes of formation, education, intellectual growth, and spiritual maturation. It guides readers in moving from good to "better" in the spiritual life. Charlotte Ostermann demonstrates an approach to the world of created form that helps us increase our "depth perception" when we enter into books, institutions, relationships, travel, and much else. Because it incorporates the classical trivium as a lens to focus on the goals of education, growing up, and becoming fully realized, this is a book for parents, teachers, and indeed for all serious Christians.

The purpose of Souls at Work is simple: to pose questions only you can answer. These questions will help you participate in the formation of your own soul, and the souls of your children, friends, or students. Consider and answer them for yourself to rekindle the hunger that makes learning a joyful feast.
