5.0 out of 5 stars Great for understanding, October 31, 2002

By A Customer

Easy to read. Easy to understand. It demonstrates God's love and grace thru the gift of contemplative prayer.
A must read for anyone starting the journey. Of course everyone is in one of the 'stages' of the loving search: a "beginner, only a beginner, or just a beginner".
Provides examples on understanding Scripture at the allegorical level.
Warm, friendly, loving. Much more effective than 'great' theological disertations.

I love this little book and return to it over and over again. The chapters are easy to understand and to apply to my prayer life.

1.0 out of 5 stars the loving search for God, November 30, 2008

By	Kathleen Brighton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have contacted this vendor 3 times and have had no response. The book arrived water damaged in the upper left-hand side through all the pages. The package was not water damaged, so the book was sent out in this unacceptable manner. Please advise me.
