This volume in Parabola's The Inner Journey series is edited by Lorraine Kisly. It brings together myths, stories, poetry, parables, interviews, and essays on the multiple mysteries of the Christian path. The paperback contains the following thematic sections:
• Turning Home
• The Search for the Self
• Unseen Warfare
• Attention and Remembrance
• A Body of Beauty and Love
• Worldly and Divine Work
• Transformational Knowledge
• Fullness of Being
We were especially impressed with three interviews with Father Thomas Keating on "Awakening to the Present," Brother David Steindl-Rast on "Become What You Are," and Bishop Kallistos Ware on "Image and Likeness." We also appreciated essays by Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, Irma Zaleski, Jacob Needleman, and Christopher Bamford. Lorraine Kisly in her introduction concludes with the following thought:
"A Church Father said Christ became man that man might become divine, pointing to the exchange of levels to which the human being is uniquely called: the divine incarnated in the human, the human granted a way into the heart of the living God."
