5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening view of the inner meaning of the gospels, January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mystical Sense of The Gospels: A Handbook for Contemplatives (Paperback)

This book is terrific! Somerville looks at the gospels from a different perspective - what they tell us about our internal and spiritual life. This book is a roadmap for reading the gospels on a higher, more spiritual level. A great book for both novices and experts in gospel study. Anyone on a spiritual path can benefit from the insights in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just contemplation!, October 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mystical Sense of The Gospels: A Handbook for Contemplatives (Paperback)

This book needs to be discovered by anyone seriously interested in understanding the true essense of contemplation and Christian love. Somerville clearly defines the basic truth and the driving force behind why you should seek a further union with God. I found it to be a masterpiece!
