Product Description
This is volume three of Deep is the Hunger. These meditations were written originally for the weekly Bulletin of Marsh Chapel, Boston University, as a part of its ministry. Each one has been used by many people within the University and the larger community beyond its walls. In the course of a year, a host of people from our own country and beyond the seas attend the Sunday morning religious services in Marsh Chapel. Each Sunday morning the congregation consists of persons from the Orient, Africa, the Near East, Europe, South America, Canada, and the United States. This fact has influenced the character of the meditations. For the most part, they are addressed to the deepest needs and aspirations of the human spirit. Their purpose is to make articulate the authentic lines along which the individual's spiritual quest has led him through the years.
---Howard Thurman (from the Foreword)

The Binding Unity
"There are the times of personal encounter when a knowledge of caring binds two together and what is felt is good! There is nothing new nor old, only the knowledge that what comes as the flooding insight of love binds all living things into a single whole. The felt reverence spreads and deepens until to live and to love are to do one thing. To hate is to desire the nonexistence of the object of hate. To love is the act of adoration and praise shared with the Creator of life as the Be-all and the End-all of everything that is...." (p.52)
