"How to Find Your Lost Child and Learn to Play Again: A Guide for the Art of Living" by Sandra Ballard Sooey urges adults to embrace and explore fun.

Modern life is complex and complicated, suggests author and healer Sandra Ballard Sooey, and most people long for the freedom and joy they experienced as a child. This joyfulness can be recaptured, Sooey asserts, and in her wise, warm and engaging book, "How to Find Your Lost Child and Learn to Play Again," Sooey shows readers how.

Sooey urges people to be here now and to savor each and every moment of life, much the way a child does. Each chapter addresses an aspect of joyful living, such as music, art, dance and love, that readers are encouraged to experiment with in order to spark their own unique inner wisdom. Packed with personal stories and anecdotes, this book also includes questions in every chapter to help readers rediscover a fresh understanding of their lives and help them to open to joy.

"If you want to find a book that truly lives up to its main title, grab this one! Sandra Sooey brings to dynamic life the task and opportunity that all persons possess: the ongoing discovery of one's inner potentials. The inner child in all of us sometimes can be submerged due to difficulties met in life's journey. We forget to laugh, dance or follow our creative and life-giving dreams. With nurturing imagery, her warm and compassionate stories guide the reader into a hunger for greater resurrection of so many priceless gifts within." - Thomas A. Summers, D. Min. Columbia, SC, author of Hunkering Down: My Story in Four Decades of Clinical Pastoral Education.
