The Open Hand

In The Open Hand: God Link, Surrender and Human Will, Doug McPhillips invites readers on a life-changing exploration of surrender, faith, and spiritual awakening.

Drawing upon Christian contemplation, the wisdom of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, the inspiring lives of St. Francis of Assisi, St. James, Bill Wilson, Dr Bob Smith, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and his own three pilgrimages along the Camino de Santiago, he reveals how the deepest transformation begins within.

Blending Scripture, history, personal experience, and spiritual insight, this book challenges the illusion of self-will and offers a practical pathway towards peace, purpose, and a deeper relationship with the God of your own understanding.

The Open Palm will encourage you to loosen your grip on fear and control, open your heart to grace, and discover that the greatest miracle is in the person you become along the way.

The road to Santiago ends at a cathedral.

The journey inward lasts a lifetime.
