5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual nourishment on a busy schedule, August 31, 2000

By	Martha Ainsworth "contemplative musician" (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you feel a yearning for deeper spirituality, but are disenchanted with religion, this little book may be for you.

John of the Cross continues to be the greatest Western spiritual master of this age. After 500 years, his popularity is only growing. His insightful writings appeal to persons of all faiths. In Kirvan's words, "he leads the seeking soul more deeply, more insistently, more uncompromisingly, and more sure-footedly into the mysteries of personal union with God than any other."

That may sound intimidating, but this book is accessible to anyone. I read it on the train each day on the way to work. Each day is a three-part process: read, reflect and pray. Kirvan provides a small excerpt of John's writing that can be read in about 2 minutes, but contains enough food for thought to nourish you for the whole day. Then there is a small "mantra" phrase (for instance, "Let go of what you know") that can easily be memorized, or written on a small card and carried around with you, to be reflected on during the day. Then, for the end of day, there is a prayer that incorporates the day's theme. (I read that on the train going home at night.) So in 30 days, without taking any significant time out of my schedule, I found a spiritual friend in John of the Cross who nurtured my soul. My thanks to John Kirvan for making this possible. I've just ordered another four books in the same series, and more of the writings of John of the Cross.
