Reclaiming an Ancient Tradition to Awaken the Heart

By: Cynthia Bourgeault

Narrated by: Denice Stradling

"Drawing on resources as diverse as Sufism, Benedictine Monasticism, the Gurdjieff Work, and the string theory of modern physics, Cynthia Bourgeault has crafted her own unique vision of the Wisdom way in this very accessible book, nicely balanced between concept and practice." (Gerald May, senior fellow, Shalem Institute, and author, Addiction and Grace and Will and Spirit)

"The spiritual wisdom and practical suggestions in this lively and beautiful book will be helpful to many who find themselves setting out on the interior journey." (Bruno Barnhart, a Camaldolese monk and author, Second Simplicity: The Inner Shape of Christianity)

"Cynthia Bourgeault's book is a valuable contribution to the much-needed reawakening of spiritual practice within a Christian context. Her sincerity, good sense, metaphysical depth, and broad experience make her a source to be trusted." (Kabir Helminski, Sufi Shaikh, the Threshold Society)

Worth the listen

This book was really beautiful with the analogies she used of how humans fit in with the divine. My interpretation is that it’s very panentheist, which resonates with me. She also gives practical ways to look within and grow your wisdom. I really didn’t like the narrator. She was very monotonous and didn’t bring the words to life.

Moving and beautifully written

The way Christianity should be known. I am deeply grateful to this teacher - woman! - who illuminated the deeper heart of humanity.

Very thoughtful

Deep down inside the philosophical realm like nothing i have seen before or since . I read it again and again and it never gets old or boring

Definitely worth a listen

This short book is definitely worth a listen for those interested in the roots of prayer and religion, and what it means to connect with God. Wisdom is the piece that bridges the terminal with the eternal, and its meaning is often missed. Cynthia brings this to life in her usual precise manner

Nuanced thorough overview of the Wisdom Way

Well written. Great resource. Easy to understand. The old becomes new, tools for cultivating soul presence
