If you are a beginnerand arent we allyou will find a solid foundation here. If you are wanting to go further, there is enough good material here to build a second or third floor of wisdom. This is not just spirituality, which is in now, but even, dare we say it, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. -- Richard Rohr, OFM, author, ecumencial teacher, and founder, Center for Action and Contemplation . . . among all the detritus, flotsam, and muck, Becoming Christ could serve as a strategically tossed life preserver. * Anglican Theological Review * This is a very nice, practical treatment of the journey into the contemplative for ordinary people. The contemplative journey is demystified without watering it down. * St. Placid Priory * It would be unfair to tell a prospective reader of this book that it is easy. As with most worthwhile things in this world, the read is easy&mdsh;mastering the methods and goals this book explains is hard. If you are interested in doing some serious work in the three major areas of Contemplation, Illumination and Union with God, then this is a book with which you should spend some time. * Prairie Spirit *
