Reviews"This magnificent volume will provide a life-long companion for all who seek to grow in grace and truth. It will be turned to time and time again, not simply for 'quotes' but as a stimulus to thought, reflection, and faith." - Baptist Times, "Will not only enliven the study of religion on the academic levels, but also lead many individuals to a truer and more fruitful personal response to religion and spirituality. Indeed, few will be able to skim these pages without being drawn into their depths." -- Studies in Comparative Religion, "Will not only enliven the study of religion on the academic levels, but also lead many individuals to a truer and more fruitful personal response to religion and spirituality.

SynopsisTruly magisterial, this compendium of spiritual wisdom is organized according to the traditional religious concept of spiritual ascent--or, in Christian terms, the sequence of death, resurrection, and eternal life. Hundreds of selected passages represent many faiths and philosophical traditions, with insight from some of the world's greatest minds, including Black Elk, Confucius, Eckart, Muhammad, Philo, Rumi, and Shakespeare. The material itself is divided into three sections that correspond to the ascent, with the opening quotations treating suffering, sin, and obedience before giving way to the middle section's focus on mercy, love, and contemplation. Finally, the third set of quotations climbs aloft to investigate the subjects of truth, eternity, the shattering of forms, and the union with God., Truly magisterial, this compendium of spiritual wisdom is organized according to the traditional religious concept of spiritual ascent--or, in Christian terms, the sequence of death, resurrection, and eternal life.
