The Soul’s Religion audiobook

This was a delicious book and one I will return to for reflections. There were so many things written that, as I age, I found extremely important regarding spirituality. Moore writes like music and was a joy to read.

I borrowed this book from the library on a whim and found it actually pretty good. I haven't read his other books, and can't exactly remember much from this one, but the one thing that I think made it completely worthwhile was his notion about how we read spiritual texts and puruse spirituality to better "embrace" the mystery and not to "understand" it. I feel as if I want to KNOW what it all means, and for it to be concrete, but really... we should be interested in it to better accept and enjoy the intangibility of not knowing instead. It is in that we are able to understand.

Our capacity to see through the imperfections of Religion that is accessible only to the imagination schooled in the sacred My favourite author He walk this time with religious activities about some absurd perceptions of practices and thoughts Any amount of change may destroy the concept of religion.If we go deep you may look so much of flaws in practice in religion but it has a chance of continuing is certain because 99 percent of the people follow the religion in shallow depth and 1% can feel the discomfort of the behaviour of church or templeI loved this book Coz it was written with immense enlightenment and it brushes lightly and precisely Thomas Moore never disappoint his readers

I find it difficult to fairly evaluate this book. It was on the whole very good, though at times I found it to get bogged down. That may be more my own struggle with what I found to be some inconsistencies in Moore's thought around monasticism, which I found to be a bit idealistic at times - especially for someone who left the monastery. Considering the book as a whole, he seems to drift a bit on the issue of religious authority and at times almost contradicts himself. Still, it's very good and I may be nit picking. I would recommend it.

I used this book as a daily meditation and loved it. Moore really speaks to me right now. In this book, he focuses on finding the sacred in everyday things, people, life. That makes so much sense to me right now.

I think I enjoyed this of all Thomas Moore's books. It turns religion on its back where it can rest and scratch comfortably. It helps me understand, of all things, the Yoga Sutras, as well as Christianity. An easy read on theology. I have read it many times.

Wonderful as all of Moore's books are.
