I really gleaned so much spiritual wisdom and personal insight from this book. He helped me better grasp my difficulty in accepting my anger and aggression and the false identities I've taken on to avoid seeing them. Being an old book, he is somewhat verbose but excellent in weaving together psychology and spirituality.

Adrian van Kaam's writing has depth, wisdom and inspiration that transcends many other authors yet remains grounded and practical. The middle section on anger has practical and reasonable suggestions about dealing with anger. I appreciate the inspirational free verse that reflects and summarizes each chapter.

Van Kaam takes a balanced approach, reminding us that gentleness comes gradually and organically as we are letting go of our egos and striving and are opening to the Divine Trinity that loves us and lives gently in us and through us.

Turns out the book I really wanted about Christian mindfulness has already existed for quite a while, and it's really, really good.

My spiritual director recommended this book. It reached into the depths of my soul, bringing healing and enlightenment in beautiful and profound ways.

An excellent read, practical and gentle; like a porthole window on Christianity, both for Christians and the curious or skeptical agnostic.
