5.0 out of 5 stars Superb integration of mantric meditation and Christian Theology, December 24, 2006
By 
Dan H. Miller (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Selfless Self (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on many levels. It is one of the most sucessful integrations of meditation and Christian theology. The essays show keen insight into modern life and spirituality. I would put this book in an elite group of modern spiritual classics such as "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind," "The Kingdom Within" by John Sanford, and some of the works of Thomas Merton. This book is billed as a development of themes from Freeman's earlier work, "Light Within". However, in my opinion, "The Selfless Self" is far superior to Light Within---it's in another league altogether. I even believe this book is superior to any of John Main's works, which are classics of Christian meditation in their own right. (I'm sure Freeman would disagree with this statement, as John Main was his teacher and the founder of the World Community of Christian Meditation, which Freeman now leads). This is the kind of book you can read over and over again through the years, and continue to see it as fresh and insightful. Laurence Freeman's opus is uniformly of high quality, but he really outdid himself with this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catholicism at its finest..., December 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Selfless Self (Paperback)
Fr. Freeman is in a league of his own while being for every man, or as in my case, woman. In this work he has done as he did in JESUS: THE TEACHER WITHIN, which is to hit home with the heart of Christianity. This is a gem you will want to revisit again and again.
