Heart in Hand

Description

I got your book through Elliott Bay Book Company yesterday and read a lot of it last night. It is a great gift to us all. It should be translated into other languages. A real shocker. Because it is personal, starkly real, scholarly, cross-cultural and transdisciplinary. It's such a gift to humanity because its focus is on life, not the scientific but the sensual and creative, waking potential power within each living thing to express itself through sexual energy and the power of love. Grant Jones (Landscape Architect, www.JonesandJones.com; February. 20, 2002) You have reached a nerve critical to many and many will receive benefits from reading your thoughts and insights. Elaine Monsen, PhD. (Professor of Nutrition, Department of Health Services and Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA) [The author] has woven his way through the material maze, with reason, science and knowledge as his friends and guides... In the religious realm, he has surveyed the spectrum of organized structures, understood their psycho-sociological benefits and limitations, and then...caught vivid glimpses of the kinds of direct non-dogmatic revelatory experiences the mystics talk about...and [he] does not reject or undervalue the mystics and their works. Lee Underwood (jazz piano player) Your chapters on compassion and religion could be taught in any seminary. You deal with these themes in a rational and helpful way. Dale E. Turner (theologian, retired Minister, University Congregational Church, Seattle, WA) Your book is splendid--very impressive in thought and depth, and very unpretentious as well. Robin McCabe (Professor and Chair, School of Music, University of Washington) The variety of disciplines encompassed is most impressive, exceeded only by the enormity of your reading/research... If I were a librarian, I wouldn't know where to place it. It is unique. Also quite unique is your trinity of Schopenhauer, Woody Allen and Wagner. You make their juxtaposition seem perfectly natural. Milton Katims (Emeritus Conductor, Seattle Symphony Orchestra) You gotta like someone that sandwiches Schopenhauer and Woody Allen together in the same sentence: That's jazz. Me, I like Cotton Mather and Spike Jones. Gary Litchfield A broad-ranging intellectual synthesis... It takes a great deal of courage for a thinker and writer to tackle all the most profound realities in one work and Dr. Miller appears to be well prepared for the challenge, having made himself a truly multidisciplinary individual. Ronald E. Latimer The breadth of your scholarship appeals to many disciplines and audiences. Pat Soden (publisher) This book should be on every theologian's bookshelf. Richard Broz (attorney at law) I simply have to tell you how wonderful and beautiful and profound your book is. I started reading it and could not put it down until I finished. It is stunning... I actually don't have the words to express how much it meant to me to read this book. It was absolutely beautiful. Angela Desimone If you liked THE POWER OF MYTH, the PBS TV series/book of Joseph Campbell interviews by Bill Moyers, you will be captivated by HEART IN HAND.
