![]() ![]() ![]() So I am always thrilled when I come across a book that balances a truly life-affirming understanding of God, with a deeply contemplative sensibility, and a literary quality that is poetic and a joy to read. The writing can be tedious, ponderous, and overly abstract other books suffer from writing that is too breezy, informal, and filled with clichés. Frankly, some spiritual books are not particularly well-written. It is a rare treat to find a book that is both contemplative and shaped by a truly loving image of God.īut then there is a problem of literary merit. And even the books that are theologically well-grounded are not always particularly contemplative. Of course, there are the theological differences: many books present an image of God that is limited, narrow, and sometimes even abusive. ![]() Not all spiritual books are created equal. ![]()
