A meditation on becoming fully human, learning to become close to your inner self on the Christ path, enriched with insights from the Buddha. Richard Rohr says about this book and its author that "The only authors worth reading are those who hae done their homework--the homework of their own life and the study of other great minds and hearts..." Gus Gordon has done both. He has learned from both Jesus and the Buddha how to use solitude to nurture compassion, freeing up the divine energy within to live in solidarity with others, experiencing the peace in a life you share with others.
