Truly enlightening and inspiring

Every book that I've read by this author, including this one, was really worth my effort. But I must say that this one is more special because it names and clearly describes key dispositions that are fundamental to true conversion. In another of his book "Invitation to Love" chapters 17 & 18, the first four Beatitudes and the last four, respectively, the author does an admirable job of relating the heart and soul of the present title to the Beatitudes. In doing this, he powerfully drives home the point of imitating Christ(or of even being more Christ-like). The way to conversion is not easy, nor did anyone say that it would be.

Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit, is Keating's Gift to Us.

Thomas Keating has such an openess about himself. He shares vividly, experiences that have moulded his life. It is through his sharing and examples, that allow us to understand, in new ways, Biblical Scripture. I have put into practice his thoughts in my ministry, shortly after reading this book. I am Thankful, for this meaningful work.
