Excellent Book
An excellent book by Bede. Reminiscent of 'The Universe Is A Green
Dragon' By Brian Swimme (but with a Christian perspective). Similar
to the progression from matter to divine consciousness seen by Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin.

A Voice of True Authority
We are all looking for meaning and purpose in our lives. But there
are so many Ways. And so many books about those Ways. Amidst all this
mass of material, which voices are authentic and can be trusted,
which Ways true? The field of religion is notoriously open to false
prophets, to charlatans who profit from people's sincere need to find
greater fulfilment in life. Anyone who is sincerely searching for
meaning can trust Bede Griffiths. What he tells us about the Universe
and the Spirit of Love, which he affirms is the basis of all life, is
written with utter authority - the authority which comes from living
experience, not from abstract theology. It is certainly The Word of
God, and it comes through a man of gentle temperament, of real
learning and wisdom, who had a great gift for expressing himself, so
that his words fascinate us intellectually, engage us imaginatively,
and touch us emotionally. It is the greatest book of its kind I have
ever read.
