Dog Heaven

Cynthia Rylant

Blue Sky Press, 1995

One of my all-time favorites - I'm back for more copies

Shambhala, 2008

An excellent resource for contemplative prayer
While I wasn't overly impressed by Bourgealt's "Mystical Hope", her true potential as Episcopalian minister/guru emerges in "The Wisdom Jesus" which to my mind is the single best work on the practice of lecto divinia and contemplative prayer since Thomas Keating (that ...
