Summary: A great book to go to in times of need
Comment: I bought this book for two reasons: first, I was going through a phase where I was feeling somewhat lost spiritually and was looking for a little guidance, and second, because the list of contributors spanned the spectrum of religious thought, and I wondered if they would have anything common to say.
It turned out to be a great buy. The thinkers - ranging from the Dalai Lama to Mother Teresa to Rabbi Harold Kushner - write about their personal spirituality, not only about what is important to them, but also how they cultivate spirituality in everyday life. And if you look carefully, there is a surprisingly strong common thread running through these essays.
This book has been on my bedside table. I come back to it at times when I feel I need some inspiration and guidance, and pick a piece to read - any one. Each time I have done this, I have felt more connected to the Divine and to the world around me.

Summary: Out of the Abyss
Comment: This book was the key I had been looking for in reaching a mid-40's spiritual plateau. It is a book of answers and methods. From things as simple as focussing on the thoughts "In" and "Out" while breathing during meditation to the conflict between egoism and spiritualism. It is the kind of book one will keep on hand in times of crises to read over again. The format of brief 4-5 page essays is perfect for those with short attention spans.

Summary: Wonderful and spiritually uplifting book
Comment: I loved "For the Love of God" and, as the title claims, it is a "handbook for the Spirit". The essays range from Mother Teresa to the Dalai Lama, so as credentials go, it doesn't get better. This book works on the level of poetry - food for the soul. The only comparable book I can think of that achieves this same level of impact, is the divine and truly inspired "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. The accumulated wisdom that is in "For the Love of God" becomes manifest in the profoundly moving "The Autobiography.." and for the first time I can believe Jesus as being a REAL human being. Either I am getting older or the authors of today are getting better at portaying our aspirations towards God. - I hope it's just them getting better. This is an excellent book, go for it!
