Negative Positive
Title: Excellent manual
Review: A wonderful guide and disucssion of the practice of contemplation. This book deals with the ancient problem of the "unknowableness" of God by attacking it head on: We can't know God, therefore we must meditate on the Cloud of Unknowing which lies between us and God.Incidently, I think the reason many works on contemplation don't seem applicable to daily life is that many of them were written for and by monastics. In response to the other reviewer, as Ellis Peters says one shouldn't become a contemplative merely to escape from the world without...one must be on fire for the world within.
