by Bernadette Roberts (Author)
In this collection of essays, Bernadette Roberts deepens her mark upon the Christian contemplative tradition. Bernadette expands and clarifies many of the important themes from her previous groundbreaking books: The Experience of No-Self, The Path to No-Self, What is Self?, and The Real Christ. Certain to be of broad interest in this collection are two of Bernadette's most recent essays, the "Ten Ox-herding Pictures" and "The Nature of Self." The witness of Bernadette's life, spiritual journey and writings continues to confirm her profound contribution to our understanding and experience of the spiritual journey, especially as it unfolds beyond the unitive state. These essays are at once challenging, provocative, enjoyable, fun and deeply edifying. They help remind us of God's everlasting love and invite us deeper into the life and joys in and as Christ. The essays will also serve as an accessible introduction to Bernadette's primary books. As such, this book will be a welcome primer for all readers and theologians interested in understanding more deeply the nature of what Bernadette experienced and bore witness to.
