Book of the Month

The Human Condition by Thomas Keating The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation (Wit Lectures.) - God's grace is a gradual process of stepping into the light, of owning up to ourselves and becoming fully human. To insulate themselves against the pain of living, many people--including many Christians--develop "homemade" selves where the feel protected. But this behavior is radically challenged by Christ, who calls people to repent and reclaim their true selves, bestowed on them by their creator.
