The astounding breadth and diversity of literary and musical quotations reveal deep understanding in both of these fields which seem to be truly united in the author's life. Through his personal story, Dunne describes universal aspects of our existence as we journey toward reunion with God. -- Perspectives in Religious Studies It is difficult to convey the subtleties of the yearning of our hearts for unity with God, others and the abundant pleasures of life on Earth. In this richly textured paperback, Dunne does just that, a commendable mix of philosophy, literary wisdom and theological acumen. -- Spirituality and Health
