I have started about 6 memoirs in 6 months. This is the only one I finished. I couldn't put it down. In fact, halfway through, I ordered the hardback. Yes..it is Michael's story...his memoir. But in reality, his story is our story. Not as Americans, but as human beings. This memoir is as much a particular story about a particular human being as much as it is an epic search we all go on (to some degree) in search of 'us.' Michael mentions a 72 page appendix and other material that could become a 2nd book. PLEASE PUBLISH IT. Each of us if we live long enough eventually find a 'rule of life' to live by. The various spiritual masters who have started monestaries for example have these for their disciples. After all of the comparative religious reading Michael (and I) has done and the spiritual pursuits he has undertaken....I am curious where he is now on this daily rule of living.

For those who enjoy Jung, Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Richard Rohr, comparative religion, philosophy for life, psychology....give this a read. The different finds, dreams and a-ha moments in life Michael describes inspired me to go back through my own life review. I will be listening to this one again.

Lastly, while the book is deep....it is thoroughly entertaining and there are parts that are funny as hell. On the normal bell curve' of personalies, I am sure Michael is an outlier. Most artist, especially comedians seem to be. But this doesn't make him any more special than you or I, and he knows this. This book will be as helpful to all of us, maybe moreso than writing it was for him I believe. Thank you Mr. Richards.

Very good review of the Meisters' view of conversion of the soul. Certainly connects many dots on contemplation and action. Reminded me of God's work in the soul, and step 3 of AA.

A great retreat to help one change perspective on seeing creation, our place in it, and Franciscan path to live in it, as fully human and as a child of the Creator.

I ordered this because I wanted to hear Bonaventure's mystical theology and where could help me on my journey. The author takes us through the context of the times as well as the sacred imagery Bonaventure uses to step through our journey into God. The author explains to the best anyone can do the holistic thought and ultimate enlightenment Bonaventure concludes on, and then gives examples of modern day impacts.

Story telling was great, narration great, but plot was thin. I felt that there just wasn't enough meat to it, though it had its suspensfull moments. 3.5 stars overall.
