![]() ![]() How would I describe the book to a friend?Ī beautiful (sometimes bewildering) series of essays designed to help us remember how much access we have to Divinity if we could only remember how to look. Remember that in each and every moment is a possibility to commune with the Divine. If I implemented one idea from this book right now, which one would it be? each is framed as a quest, which speaks to thurman’s understanding of the work required to go inside oneself… the chapters of the book each feel like a particular lane into the self. he says himself in the foreword “there are not many windows in these meditations they are as the title indicates, in Inward Journey…”Įach 1-2 page essay is a short reflection on a thought or two that helped him explore go deep into himself, which is into relationship with the Divine. An anthology of the most important and eloquent writings of Thurman, minister, philosopher, educator, and spiritual leader whose influence on leaders of the civil rights movement and on Americans at large has been likened to that of Martin Lurther King, Jr. I struggle to grab onto what thurman’s “main ideas” are here because the book feels like it transcends the idea of main ideas. ![]()
