Summary: Great book, not quite as good as Best of 2001
Comment: Reading this book was a great experience, and I found a majority of the essays extremely moving. The book came out well before the end of 2002, so I wonder if perhaps they released it a little too early - perhaps the editors could have found some better essays had they waited longer. I'd give "Best Spiritual Writing of 2001" 5 stars -- every essay in that book was extremely moving and powerful. If you're only going to read 1 of the 2 books, I recommend the 2001 anthology.
Rating: 5
Summary: Spellbinding
Comment: I have only read a few of the essays in this book so far, but they have all been wonderful. Brian Doyle's "Leap," about the couple who jumped to their deaths together from one of the World Trade Center towers, is worth the price of the book alone: "A couple leaped from the south tower, hand in hand. They reached for each other and their hands met and they jumped....Their hands reaching and joining are the most powerful prayer I can imagine, the most eloquent, the most graceful. It is everything that we are capable of against horror and loss and death. It is what makes me believe that we are not craven fools and charlatans to believe in God, to believe that human beings have greatness and holiness within them like seeds that open only under great fires, to believe that some unimaginable essence of who we are persists past the dissolution of what we were, to believe against such evil hourly evidence that love is why we are here."
What amazing, amazing writing. It makes me cry.
