description: Where do we begin? Begin with the heart! For all those daring to make the spiritual journey Meditations With is a series of poignant, vibrant versions of great mystics of yesterday and today with Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Julian of Norwich, Native American and others. The spiritual explosion of the 1980s can be attributed to the hidden activity of the Holy Spirit. As a result, there has been a return to the traditional masters of the spiritual life, the long neglected mystics of the Judeo-Christian tradition. One of the outstanding medieval treasures is Dante's Divine Comedy, Dante provides us with a portrait of the medieval soul. He is a mirror of the virtues and vices of that era. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the greatest poets of all time, and he was a visionary who was engrossed in the politics of his day. His work not only holds interest for the historian, theologian, or literary critic, but it is also a treasure for all who trouble in the 20th century for faith, vision and love because Dante himself experienced a trouble and frustrating life. Dante was exiled in 1300 from Florence and wandered the In Italian countryside for the rest of his life. This book incorporates his early work, La Vita Nuova, as well as passages from Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio. --- from book's back cover
