ReviewsThe beauty and illumination of Jim Finley's language, whether he is writing about trauma or God's presence, open the heart. To read this book is to be changed forever., James Finley has pursued the contemplative life seriously--inside and outside of the monastery--and part of that through the healing of his own wounds. That combination allows him to bring a whole, wonderful balancing act to theology and spirituality. James Finley is a healer. I believe his poetic words will help many people on their healing journey., "The beauty and illumination of Jim's language, whether he is writing about trauma or God's presence, open the heart. To read this book is to be changed forever."--Bonnie Badenoch, Author of The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships "To read this book is to receive the transmission of one of the great living mystics of our age. James Finley inhabits the sacred territory he maps for us in these luminous pages--a landscape drenched in love, rooted in the sacred ordinary, where our most devastating wounds become portals to the divine encounter. Jim's story is riveting, his insight transcendent, his invitation truly life-changing." --Mirabai Starr, Author of Wild Mercy and Caravan of No Despair "James Finley has pursued the contemplative life seriously--inside and outside of the monastery--and part of that through the healing of his own wounds. That combination allows him to bring a whole, wonderful balancing act to theology and spirituality. James Finley is a healer. I believe his poetic words will help many people on their healing journey."--Richard Rohr, James Finley inhabits the sacred territory he maps for us in these luminous pages--a landscape drenched in love, rooted in the sacred ordinary, where our most devastating wounds become portals to the divine encounter.
TitleLeadingThe
Synopsis"These reflections mark out a path, a way of life, in which we human beings may be healed from all that hinders us from experiencing the steady, strong currents of divinity that flow on and on in the bitter-sweet alchemy of our lives." So James Finley begins his book, a contemplative reflection on the spirituality of heating, drawing on lessons from Thomas Merton, the wisdom of the mystics, and the story of his own recovery from the trauma and emotional wounds of his early life. The surprising thing, he shows, is that "the secret opening through which we pass into wholeness is hidden in the center of those wounds we are most afraid to approach.", This is a contemplative reflection on the spirituality of healing, the fruit of the author's lifetime in conducting spiritual direction and psychotherapy, drawing on his lessons from Thomas Merton and study of the mystical path. It is largely written in the form of a memoir of his own recovery from the traumatic wounds of his early life (abusive father, abuse by his confessor in the monastery), a dysfunctional marriage, and his road to healing and wholeness. But it is not just about his story--it is an invitation to the reader to reflect and resonate with the lessons that apply to their own stories., This is a contemplative reflection on the spirituality of healing, the fruit of the author's lifetime in conducting spiritual direction and psychotherapy, drawing on his lessons from Thomas Merton and study of the mystical path.
