This review is from: Around the World in 52 Words: Ritual Writing for This New Millennium (Paperback)

I simply loved "Around the World in 52 Words." The vignettes that comprise this volume are inspiring, thought-provoking and starkly honest.... and they read like butter. They represent a beautiful synthesis of Burton's creativity and discipline. His testaments are accessible, poignant, artistic, timely, and, above all, useful, for they offer direction to ordinary people who might otherwise have cause to despair and be cynical in these delicate, volatile times. The author is obviously affected by the world around him, and he is equally affected by the difference contained in that world. Readers of a variety of perspectives will be able to relate to Burton, for his stories tell the human story. Burton appreciates with uncommon sensitivity just what it is that is special about being a human being, and he conveys his insights with the clarity and vision of an inspired prophet.
