"""Larry Hart's hard work has borne fruit in this valuable resource, which I found rich and stimulating."" --Philip Yancey, author of Where the Light Fell ""In his new book, A Grammar of Holy Mystery, Larry Hart verifies the deep message of Christ that to know the God in 'whom we live, move, and have our being' is life itself. In my twenty-five years of teaching religion and philosophy at the collegiate level, I often searched for a book like this which looked at, and interpreted, Christianity historically and ecumenically."" --Deborah L. Flamino, former professor of philosophy and world religions ""Questions of spiritual origin and longing are among those Larry Hart brings to this elegantly written exploration of what he calls 'the journey into intimacy.' This is a book for lovers of the soul--for those who, like the author, want to be immersed in a generous approach to what the broad Christian tradition has to offer those seeking the intimacy of the soul. It is an intimacy Hart clearly experiences for himself and wishes for his readers to experience also."" --Simon Mainwaring, author of Mark, Mutuality, and Mental Health ""I found Larry Hart's book, with its widely varied resources, to be both an exploration and an education. In connecting the themes of peace, justice, and compassion to the deeper inner life throughout, it brought me to the realization that my own work with the vulnerable, the hungry, and victims of violence, along with every expression of simple human kindness, is spiritual practice. It boldly illustrates that Christian spirituality cannot be without social spirituality."" --Leilani Perrelli, crisis interventionist"
