Synopsis:

Examines phases of spiritual life, the dichotomy of experience, and the eventual unification with God

Review: Ms. Roberts experiential approach clarifies several important points that have remained obscure in the writings of Christian mystics of the past. Primary among these is her powerful affirmation that the state of Transforming Union is a preparation for a further stage of divine transformation which, for lack of any classical Christian expression, she calls the experience of no self.
Ms. Roberts special gift as spiritual writer is her capacity to articulate the ineffable. The clarity and sharpness of her insight and expression, her honesty about herself and her experience, the balance and groundedness of her psychological perceptiveness, and her sure touch in distinguishing accidentals from essentials the straight and narrow path from dead-ends make her account unique among the works of spiritual writers. Father Thomas Keating"
