Journey into God

by St. Bonaventure
 

“For hearts and souls hungering for God, this book opens up new vistas…[the authors] show us how to get inside the heart of Bonaventure and how to embrace his understanding that all the universe is a ladder by which we can ascend to God.”
Roberta McKelvie, OSF
Journey on a forty-day retreat with two experienced retreat directors into the joyful acceptance of goodness that is at the core of Franciscan spirituality. The basic theological concepts found in Saint Bonaventure’s great work are presented in clear and practical language. Each day there are readings from The Journey, reflections by the two authors and exercises the reader can carry out in daily life. The book may be used by groups or by individuals journeying alone. The complete original text of a new translation of The Journey by Franciscan scholar Zachary Hayes OFM, is included
