Engaging story excellent performance

Revisado: 11-19-23

Author tells a tale with many twists and turns. Writing style is occasionally poetry in prose when describing landscapes and characters which reach for Dickensian heights. The appendix went off into philosophical weeds, but ended with one last interesting tidbit.

Compelling story, excellent read for turn of the 19th to 20th century literature

Revisado: 10-14-23

The drama and dilemma of reconstruction south and the issues surrounding northern migration of minorities and the injustices and temptations that resulted are presented in an intelligent if somewhat stilted 19th century style.

Engaging plot and performance

Revisado: 10-09-23

Interesting descriptions of the rivers and dangers of the outback of Brazil. The legal entanglements were sometimes tedious and character development of minor characters seemed shallow. Overall though a good story.

This compelling performance brings together many basics of the teachings of modern day and historical mystics from world contemplative traditions applying these to our 21st century world in a beautifully practical format. Inspiring!

An excellent introduction to a contemplative approach to life

Soothing meditative presentation addressing several dilemmas of the Christian experience. Thomas Merton’s poetic style provides many quotable phrases to ponder.

Definitely inconvenient truths that all Americans need to read and understand to help us live up to the ideals we teach our children and profess to work towards in our churches.

Insightful interpretation with excellent historical perspective

Revisado: 10-10-22

I ordered this book based on having read other books by the same author. Clear and concise presentation. Rohr puts each element of this well known scripture into historical context while giving commentary on how the Sermon on the Mount applies to our daily lives and globally to our troubled world. He provides sensitive insights and hope filled analysis along with some disturbing observations about some past misrepresentations of some passages.
This would be an excellent read for any person wishing to broaden their view beyond traditional interpretations of scripture .
