Editorial Reviews

Book Description:
Thomas Keating has spent more than fifty years in sustained practice and devotion to the spiritual life. The results of this creative, humble activity are now summarized in this remarkable book, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit.

As Father Keating says, the spiritual journey is a gradual process of enlarging our emotional, mental, and physical relationship with the divine reality that is present in us, but one not ordinarily accessible to our emotions or concepts. The spiritual journey teaches us, first, to believe in the Divine Indwelling within us, fully present and energizing every level of our being; second, to recognize that this energy is benign, healing, and transforming; and third, to enjoy its gradual unfolding, step-by-step, both in prayer and in action.

Truly enlightening and inspiring by C. Campbell
Every book that I’ve read by this author, including this one, was really worth my effort. But I must say that this one is more special because it names and clearly describes key dispositions that are fundamental to true conversion. In another of his book “Invitation to Love” chapters 17 & 18, the first four Beatitudes and the last four, respectively, the author does an admirable job of relating the heart and soul of the present title to the Beatitudes. In doing this, he powerfully drives home the point of imitating Christ(or of even being more Christ-like). The way to conversion is not easy, nor did anyone say that it would be.

Practical, down-to-earth spiritual view of the Gifts by C. Cox
The Gifts of the Spirit have always seemed a little fuzzy when it came to living them in my life. Then I read this book and found a whole new way of looking at the Gifts. Besides being more of a practical interpretation/explanation of them, I found a GREAT encouragement for my spiritual growth in that I could see them operating in MY life after reading what Keating had to say. I have read and re-read the book several times and meditated on parts of it, becoming more and more grateful for God’s blessings in my life. Perhaps you, too, will find it inspiring and encouraging.

Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit, is Keating’s Gift to Us. by Edward H. Sheppley
Thomas Keating has such an openess about himself. He shares vividly, experiences that have moulded his life. It is through his sharing and examples, that allow us to understand, in new ways, Biblical Scripture. I have put into practice his thoughts in my ministry, shortly after reading this book. I am Thankful, for this meaningful work.
