No chicken soup
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I don't know what is more remarkable--the beauty and substance of this book or its brevity. If you can't make it through a 2,000 page volume on theology but Chicken Soup For The Soul turns your stomach, I highly recommend Abide In Love. It's accessible, powerful, and never sappy or complacent. Incidentally, this book is from Cardenal's days with the Trappists, before (?) he embraced liberation theology. It's quite different from some of his later writings in that it's apolitical.
Spiritually Uplifting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Ernesto Cardenal talks to us in this book, with his soul, a soul that has felt the sublime experience of God's presence. His words come from that experience, and is not until the reader has had that same experience that he/she will be able to fully understand his words. This book, for me, was the explanation of those moments in which I look for solitude and silence, in which I feel the presence of God, and it is then, when I can hear his voice with my heart. I keep this book next to my bed. If I feel depressed, angry or discouraged, I take it and open it without looking for an specific page, because I know that every page, every sentence in this book is filled with praise and recognition of God's inexhaustible love. The foreword by Thomas Merton is just as uplifting, because he, as well, is able to explain the world departing from the fact that all is embraced by a loving God. If you do not believe that love is the rule and not the exception, you must read this book.
