Beverly Lanzetta is a theologian and spiritual teacher, and the author of seven books on global spirituality and new monasticism that have won praise for their wisdom, eloquence, and mystical insight. In forming Blue Sapphire Books, her intention was to reach directly into the hearts of people—wherever they may live and from any or no religious persuasion— who long to live differently, giving themselves to the quest for meaning and love, the quest for the Divine. Dedicated to a vision of theological openness and spiritual nonviolence, Beverly has been guiding others in the universal call to contemplation for almost forty years.
