Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"Integrating the wisdom of ancient mystics and the insights of contemporary thinkers, May examines the spiritual longings that are often hidden and controlled by society's pressures and expectations."--Publishers Weekly




Rating: - Deeply contemplative, not an easy read but worth it
I actually bought this book because I thought it would help me open up to *romantic* love, as in, to meeting my potential partner/soul mate/twin flame. It was none of that, but it did help me open up to Love -- the greater love for life, for people, and especially for myself and God.

Rating: - Profound
This was not a book I could read without stopping. It's truth hits my heart hard; and gives it pause. Each page invites meditation. I will keep it in my library for further study. It gives Amazing Insights to the connection between mental and spiritual health.

Rating: - Powerful book
This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. A friend passed this onto me and I remember reading the first 20 pages on a bus and not being able to stop crying. It was so beautiful and it made me look at myself and others differently. The one thing that we are all searching for is Love. That is the fundamental purpose of life. Absolutely amazing book in it's simplicity and beauty.

Rating: - Clear direction for being with God
What a deeply enriching book! I have had to read it a few pages at a time to savor and feel my way through what is being said. I reccommend this book to any spiritual seeker, even though the book is loosely Christian in orientation.

This author is the best contemporary spiritual guide I have. I wish he would write more!!
