The Jesus Koans By Kim Michaels
This is a gem of a book that will not fail to entertain uplift and inspire Short snappy and sometimes humorous zen like koans that give profound insights into the true inner mystical teachings of Jesus and everyday life It turns out Jesus was a Zen master even before Zen had been invented The book is not organized in a linear fashion in true Zen style but gives commentary on a wide variety of topics that are of interest to all people who are open to the spiritual side of life If you have had enough of the stuffy image of Jesus presented by mainstream Christianity this book will give you a new appreciation for the depth of Jesus mystical teachings The book has short chapters and each chapter consists of a number of short koans most only a few lines long It is therefore ideal as a relaxing meditation before going to sleep or for a few minutes of relief from a busy schedule Simply a must read for the spiritual seeker with a sense of curiosity and humor The Jesus KoansA lot of wisdom condensed in short snippets Helpful in case you want quick reminders about key ideas that can help you cut through the fog of everyday life and its concerns and reconnect to the sense of who you are and what you re here for. Perhaps the most important attribute I recognize in this book is its potential for people who have never heard of its author and in fact may have heard very little about anything outside of what you traditionally hear in churches about religion and spirituality For those in such circumstances this book could be a fantastic entry point to start pushing the limits of their current world view 9780963256447 Great insights. I might misunderstand but unlike traditional koans these don t seem to have a level of contradiction that forces giving up reasoning and opening up to insight Maybe they are just brilliant in doing so effortlessly 9780963256447
