Cynthia Bourgeault said that this book “represents a brilliant synthesis of esoteric and mystical wisdom.”.Thomas Keating, OCSO, also a key voice in the Centering Prayer world, offers this praise: “This book, in my view, is the greatest contribution to date toward the rediscovery and renewal of the Christian contemplative tradition.”.It has tremendous spiritual depth and insight.” Basil Pennington, OCSO, one of the founders of the Centering Prayer movement, said “It is without doubt the most extraordinary work I have ever read.Therese Schroeder-Sheker, renowned harpist and music-thanatologist, describes it as a “work of staggering insight, intelligence, imagination and service” and goes on to say it “is quite simply manna in the desert.”.Bede Griffiths, the legendary English monk who established a Christian ashram in India, said “There is hardly a line without some profound significance… To me it is the last word in wisdom.”.

Look at some of the wonderful endorsements this book has received, from recognized leaders in the Christian contemplative world: I’m not the only one who feels this way about this 20th-century contemplative masterpiece. It’s one of those rare books that rewards multiple readings, each new journey through it yielding new insights. This is actually my third time through the book, and I know I will read it again, certainly more than once. I’ve recently been re-reading one of the most fascinating and unusual books of mystical wisdom to have been written within the last 100 years.
