5.0 out of 5 stars "Crossing": an inspiring read for all spiritual seekers, 6 Feb 2002
Throw away all preconceived ideas about the relevance of a Benedictine monk's ruminations to the dilemmas and confusion facing ordinary people in the 21st Century.

At times almost unbearably honest, Mark Barrett writes from the heart. He succeeds in bridging the gap dividing the Christian prayer tradition "often perceived as boring or irrelevant" and real life issues from the mundane to the crises.

Beautifully written, inspiration and analogy are drawn from a wealth of literature and film in addition to western and eastern religious texts.

I would highly recommend this book to both the religious and secular seeker.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent read worth every penny!, 2 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This book is an enthralling read. Each turn of the page provides you with a new imaginative and innovative insight into the world of monastic life and the confusion facing a Benedictine monk in the 21st century.

The book provides you with a new insight into the world of faith and prayer. As a student at Mark Barrett's school, I understand his views and can honestly say that this book is brutally honest.

I promise that this book will not disappoint!

By j-thorpie@hotmail.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
A magnificent insight into the strange and wonderful world of faith and humanity. Having been taught by Mark Barrett at Worth Abbey School, I know his ways and teachings which are expressed in this book. I guarentee you, you will not be dissapointed and will turn each page with anticipation of more interesting insights.
