I was introduced to Edward Hays years ago with his book, "Prayers for the Planetary Pilgrim." It has been a constant prayer guide for me over the years. I just bought and read "The Ladder." Through gentle and often humorous parables, he challenges us to view the world through new, more deeply spiritual eyes. Many of the parables are koan-like, designed to put the reader off kilter so that insight may occur. I found the book very easy to read, entertaining, reassuring and thought-provoking. Clearly, Edward Hays has done his own spiritual practice. The depth of his spiritual consciousness comes through in everything that he writes. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to live a life of greater integrity or who wants to become more perfected through union with the divine.
