PRAISE FOR DARK NIGHTS OF THE SOUL
A fluent, unflaggingly honest style...Short on detail, long on evocation, this book conveys the important...message that spiritual growth entails darkness as well as light.
All of us go through troubled times, when we lie awake at night unable to sleep, wishing we had a comforting book to read. Now you do. DARK NIGHTS OF THE SOUL brings solace to the aching heart.
Thomas Moore is the master of conveying the insight that the dark times in our lives are not threats but friends and teachers.
PRAISE FOR CARE OF THE SOUL Many thanks to Thomas Moore for these profound and timely insights. ...Genuinely inspirational.
Invigorating, demanding, and revolutionary.
I soulfully recommend it without reservation.
PRAISE FOR THOMAS MOORE
There is the depth and originality of Mr. Moore's own observations...and a deeply consoling intelligence...that should draw many readers.
In these reductive and fundamentalist times, Thomas Moore asks us to question the workings of a sun-bright culture, which demands our happy, healthy productivity at perhaps the cost of our very soul.
Thomas Moore is one of the profound spiritual writers of our time. We've all been discouraged by neat, tidy self-help dogmatism, and Moore refuses to succumb to the commercialism of simplistic, superficial, and subjective solutions. Moore helps us see expectations and is always on the side of abundant life.
Thomas Moore is an authentic example of a new kind of therapist--a doctor of the soul--which in our century has been in short supply.
Thoughtful, elegant, inspiring.
