Description

Book Synopsis
God for the author is not a funk hole or an oxygen tank. We cannot escape the realities of our lives by swallowing pills or lying on a psychiatrist's couch. The author believes that society can be transformed by the transformation of the hearts and minds of ordinary mortals, who do not have to be cloistered behind monastic walls.

Mentioned in Fairacres Chronicle, Vo. 44 No.2.
Fr Freeman's book is a joy to read. Here is autobiography, with enough detail to make it real, but without getting bogged down in personal stuff... Every meditator will benefit from reading this book, no matter how long or short a time he or she has been at it. -- The Church Times
