This anthology highlights the lives and teachings of a dozen modern spiritual masters, each of whom embodied a form of engaged spirituality attuned both to God and the needs of a wounded world. Balancing contemplation and action, the mystical and the political, prayer and compassion, these figures--including some of the world's best-known spiritual teachers -- represent a model of spirituality sensitive to tradition as well as the challenges of our time.Robert Ellsberg, ed., Robert Ellsberg
