Face Before I Was Born

Describing the intoxicating intensity of his own spiritual journey--which began when he was 16 years old--this autobiography reveals the events that followed throughout the next 22 years: tremendous love, psychological breakdown, craziness, bliss, and the slow work of balancing the inner world of the spirit and the outer demands of everyday life. An ancient story of a spiritual transformation experienced in present times relates the terrifying depths, vulnerability, and emptiness of the spiritual journey--only revealed in divine love. More than 10 years since the original publication of the book, this revised edition includes new material exploring the continuing mystery of human experience and divine revelation.
