As the author of the spiritually-themed book, [...:], I am always on the outlook for books that feed my spirit. This is definitely one of them.
I was introduced to this book when I first came into recovery from alcoholism, over twenty years ago. I had just come to embrace that God could do for me what I could not do for myself. Prior to that time, I had become alienated from my Christian roots. This book opened up my eyes in ways I never would have believed.

Un bello libro en el que el autor logra una interesante síntesis entre el misticismo oriental y el católico. A pesar de que la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe advirtió -no sin razón- de lo heterodoxo de algunas de las ideas expuestas por el autor, a mí me ha resultado muy útil como preparación para los ejercicios ignacianos.
Poetic, empathetic, experiential writing by a Jesuit pining after Buddhist ideology. This is a fascinating and lovely set of thought experiments that blur Christian ideas into mind settings that Buddhists can accept and meditate on. I found it to be quite lovely.
Fabulous book for christians, a deep thought provoking basis for christian meditation. I couldn't finish it because I am going in other directions with meditation.

Inspirador.
Excellent book to have on hand to guide your times with the Lord.
Would not be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed looking at life from his particular spiritual viewpoint. Found it thought-provoking.
