Description

This is a guidebook for those who are called to the path of conscious love.

This powerful book, written by an Episcopal priest, tells of her intense relationship with Brother Raphael Robin, a seventy-year-old Trappist monk and hermit. Both believed that a relationship can continue beyond this life, and here Cynthia Bourgeault describes her search for that connection before and after Robin's death. Bourgeault's previous books includeThe Wisdom JesusandCentering Prayer and Inner Awakening.

'Libraries offering titles on mysticism, inner transformation, or dealing with grief will find this a unique and welcome addition.' Library Journal

'Ablaze with passion for the one essential task of the monk: total inner transformation'. Brother David Stendl-Rast
