Summary

The early Christians, teaches the Reverend Cynthia Bourgeault, were afire with the spirit of Jesus, inspired fully by his teaching of a total transformation of consciousness. How do we reclaim that fire today?In Encountering the Wisdom Jesus, this brilliant author and dynamic Episcopalian priest presents her first full-length audio course about rediscovering the Master of Wisdom. Twelve immersive sessions cover: the parables as wisdom tools; Jesus's teachings about kenosis (or self-emptying: a path as radical today as it was 2,000 years ago); Jesus as tantric master; Centering Prayer, an approach to meditation as Jesus lived it, and much more.

Couldn't put it down!

This book is a must read for anyone interested in a deeper Christianity with the kind of spiritual practices missing from the mainstream Churches. If you've felt there is something to Jesus but are confused about the way he is usually presented then this is also for you. I have no fixed religion but I do have faith and this book has given me the missing pieces I needed to understand Christianity in a similar way to Buddhism or Vedanta which are much easier to grasp in my experience, perhaps because Christianity has been so severely warped but also because the scripture can be cryptic or wrapped up on allegory while the churches insist it's literal. Great read!

Knowledge from the Heart

Insightful, honest and ultimately a deeply moving retelling of encounter with her best Beloved. Cynthia excels in leading by example.
