I recommend it for theologians (especially those who don't understand von Speyr's influence on Balthasar) or anyone willing to follow life's most fundamental questions to their source.             Confession1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1985 Good thoughts about confession As a Catholic who goes to confession regularly, I found this book helpful in putting the Sacrament of Penance (confession) in its proper context. I like the way this author compares confession to the Passion and Death of Christ, in ways that I had not previously considered. I believe that this book helps me to derive more spiritual benefit from confession. I will, however, caution that at ...             World of Prayer1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1985 Prayer and the Trinity Adrienne von Speyr, a Swiss mystic (1902-1967), begins her longest and deepest book on prayer, The World of Prayer [Die Welt des Gebetes], by anchoring the original source of prayer in the eternal dialogue exchange of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Her insight is an original and fruitful contribution that has yet to be realized in Christian reflection on prayer. It is an idea that once ...             Lumina and New Lumina Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 2008 A beautiful little book of brief meditations on the love of God by the Swiss spiritual writer, mystic and medical doctor von Speyr. These short "insights" are fruits of Adrienne's contemplative prayer that reflect her constant quest for an ever deeper union with God, a union of divine and human love that is shown in her life by her great compassion for others as seen in her tireless devotion to her many medical patients. She knew that in order ...             Book of All Saints1 review Adrienne von Speyr Ignatius Press, 2008 Mystical Book of Saints: Devotions Excerpt from Hans Urs von Balthasar's introduction to this work. This work came into being over the course of several years, as new portraits were constantly added on occasion or at my own request. In the beginning, Adrienne was shown individual saints during times when she was not at all thinking of these particular people. For the most part, they were shown in their general disposition and, ...             The Boundless God1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 2005 the boundless enters boundedness In this short but profound book, Adrienne von Speyr (1902-1967), a Swiss mystic, offers eleven meditations on the infinity of the triune God who entered our finitude to bring us into his boundlessness. In one meditation, she uses the sea as an allegory for the boundlessness of God. The sea has a certain look of infinity in its vastness and a look of change in all its waves. Just as ...             Gates of Eternal Life1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Pr, 1983 The Gates of Heaven Open to the Trinity The Gates of Eternal Life uses the biblical image of the gate of heaven to guide a meditation on eternal life. The focus is on the eternal life in heaven as the ever new perpetual contemplation and adoration of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through the gates of the Church's Year, Faith, Sacraments (particularly Ordination and Consecrated Life), Prayer, Mystical Vision, and ultimately the ...             The Holy Mass Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1999             My Early Years Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Pr, 1995             John: The Discourses of Controversy: Meditations of John 6-12 Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1993             Light And Images: Elements Of Contemplation1 review Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 2004 The Son is the Light and the Image Written by Adrienne von Speyr (1902-1967), a Swiss doctor and mystic, Light and Images: Elements of Contemplation is complementary to her book The World of Prayer. Both books are excellent and form a good picture of Speyr's understanding of the Christian life of prayer and contemplation. Whereas The World of Prayer is a fuller theoretical treatment, this book, Light and Images, offers concrete ...             The Passion from Within3 reviews Adrienne Von Speyr Ignatius Press, 1998 Christ's view of the passion and why it is inevitable. It is difficult to call a book that takes you through the passion as great, or terrific. And "rich" is overused to descibe modern spirituality, and new age spirituality. Poignant is the word that decribes Von Speyr's detailed emotional trip of Christ's passion. Somehow Von Speyr is able to detail the movement of Christ's view of His passion. And she does it in a way that proves that each step ...              search for books 6-12, boundless, confession, contemplation, controversy, death, discourses, early, einer, elements, elijah, eternal, from, gates, geschichte, handmaid, images, kinde, light, lumina, meditations, mystery, passion, prayer, saints, seele, theresia, within, world, years books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
