Product Description

S.T. Georgiou writes with prayerful simplicity, sharing spiritual and contemplative insights that grew out of experiences he had while earning his doctoral degree in Religion and Art at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. With a foreward from Brother Patrick Hart, last secretary to Thomas Merton and General Editor of the Merton Journals, Mystic Street explores the answers to difficult spiritual questions with creative ease. Georgiou touches on deep and holy truths, using a highly ecumenical and interfaith approach, as he seeks out readers who themselves are tlooking for meaningful spirituality and the divine presence in their world.

About the Author

S.T. Georgiou lives in San Francisco, where he teaches art and spirituality. He has written a number of books, including The Way of the Dreamcatcher (Novalis).

5.0 out of 5 stars Travels of the Heart, October 19, 2007
This review is from: Mystic Street (Paperback)
In his latest book, "Mystic Street", Steve Georgiou has a turn of phrase that often strikes me as being true to the experience of so many of us: "we are travelers of the heart" (p.32). Consequently, I read Georgiou's book as an invitation to travel the uncharted territory of my own heart and life experiences. It's something of a travel book, one that describes a fabulous journey through inner and outer landscapes. One slowly and attentively responds to the beckoning of mystery; mystery woven like a fine, rich thread through the everyday and the ordinary. In this case the "everyday and the ordinary" is Steve working toward his doctoral degree in Religion and Art at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. "Mystic Street" carries on from where Georgiou's earlier book "The Way of the Dreamcatcher", left off.

And, I must say, the views from this continuing journey are of a type that make you stop, dead in your tracks. You stand still. You "wakeup" as if from a dream. You rub the sleep from you eyes and you look and you see the wonder of the holy and the sacred in all that you know you've seen, but somehow, not really noticed. It's enough to take your breath away!

To have read this book is to have unwrapped a gift of great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding Symbolism in Everyday Life, October 4, 2007
By Leah-Cim Sirrom (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mystic Street (Paperback)
Mystic Street is a great book to take into a quiet place and meditate
on the
deeper things of life. As you read it you feel your spiritual quest
deepening,
chapter by chapter. It is a book that leaves you with a kind of
tranquil awe
and reverence for both creation and for the Creator who made it all
happen
in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living on Mystic Street, January 5, 2008
By Jim Forest (Alkmaar Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mystic Street (Paperback)
Steve Georgiou's new book invites his readers to discover that they live not only at a certain postal address known to the postman but also, and more significantly, on Mystic Street -- a street that begins at one's front door and stretches to wherever you happen to be going on a given day, whether to the supermarket or a mountain top. Mystic Street is not a line on the map but a way of life in which the main project is to be fully present wherever you happen to be, and thus to be continually rescued from boredom and be snapped awake in a state of surprise. Steve presents his invitation autobiographically, recalling particular experiences he has had while traveling his own Mystic Street. Yet this is less a book about his own life than an invitation to the reader to be more attentive, to live a more contemplative life, to discover beauty in unexpected places. The book's many photos add another level to the text. The cover photo -- light shining on wet cobblestones -- might have been taken on one of the Greek islands, most likely Patmos, where parts of the book are located. Altogether a refreshing read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystic Street is well worth the stroll
While this is one man's book about grace in his everyday experiences, it could well be every man's or woman's. The invitation is to be awake to it. Read more
