[W]e once again find the original purpose of these holy texts: to lead the one who reflects upon them on a sacred journey of transformation.Albert takes us slowly, contemplatively, through the layers of meaning that these stories offer:from head to imagination, to heart and action, and to the depths of soul. For those who enter the journey, these sacred stories take on new, and potentially life-changing, vitality." -Brian C.
