Matthew Fox is the passionate prophet--and pied piper--of creation-centered spirituality. A radical priest, visionary theologian, and ecumenical mystic, he has been called "the most creative, the most comprehensive, surely the most challenging religious-spiritual teacher in America" (Thomas Berry) as well as "one of the great prophetic voices of our time" (David Korten). Fox has devoted five decades to exploring the creation spirituality traditions in Christianity and other world religions, as well as demonstrating their relevance to the significant challenges of our times. These traditions affirm the inherent sanctity and creativity of the universe and all its inhabitants, and they assert that a central human mission is to cocreate a world of justice and compassion, beauty and peace, love and gratitude.
Fox believes that every person is graced with the capacity to be a mystic, an artist, and a prophet, and that all of us are called to actualize our sacred gifts in unique ways--and in doing so to enrich, sanctify, and celebrate life. He has also proposed that the current scientific vision of an evolving, 13.8-billion-year-old universe offers an inspiring, new Creation story that is relevant to our spiritual times. Fox's books, as well as his countless talks, workshops, conferences, courses, and cosmic masses, have reached a worldwide audience and not only transformed lives and spiritual communities but also challenged church doctrines, dogmas, and practices. His innovative educational programs, which have drawn students with diverse backgrounds and professional callings, are a unique contribution to holistic, interspiritual education. This latest work, which contains selections--gems of insight--from most of his 40+ books, offers fresh perspectives and approaches to the vital issues of our time: spirituality and science, culture and politics, ecology and education, work and the creative arts, gender and sensuality, youth and eldering, evil and activism, healthcare and the media. In many of these writings, Fox brilliantly shows how premodern wisdom can help illuminate and resolve postmodern problems. The book closes with a letter from Fox to young seekers. The editor, Charles Burack, Ph.D., made the selections in consultation with the author and also wrote an illuminating introduction to Fox's life and work. Burack is an award-winning professor, scholar, poet, and essayist. Author of three books--Leaves of Light, Songs to My Beloved, and D. H. Lawrence's Language of Sacred Experience--he integrates spirituality, psychology, and the creative arts. He is also a spiritual counselor, career/creativity coach, and pioneer in interreligious education and is currently working on two books, one on inner guidance, and the other on spiritual healing.

Editorial Reviews
"Matthew Fox is one of humanity's tiny band of indispensable universal teachers, and this magnificent comprehensive compendium of his essential teachings - brilliantly introduced and edited by Charles Burack- should be in the backpack of every spiritual seeker . . . . No one writing and teaching today has done so much, so wisely, so groundedly, so passionately, to give to us the sacred foundation and the sacred tools we need to be able to go forward and birth a new world from the ashes of the old. Do not miss this book, and give it to everyone you can think of."--
Andrew Harvey, author, The Hope and Engoldenment: A Year with Kabir
For me in today's world, the wise and eloquent presence of Matthew Fox is ever again a source of wonder and gratitude.--
Joanna Macy, author, World As Lover, World As Self
The critical insights, the creative connections, the centrality of Matthew Fox's writings and teaching are second to none for the radical renewal of Christianity. You miss him and you miss the trajectory of the reform of Christianity and our return to the real sources.-- Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M. Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico "Matthew Fox's work holds an enormous importance in elaborating and sharing a spirituality adequate to our time. He also does not fail to criticize the type of society in which we live, in which there is no place for spirituality. And this is urgent if we want to save life on our planet."-- Leonardo Boff, author, Thoughts and Dreams of an Old Theologian

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
If you need to return an item, please Contact Us with your order number and details about the product you would like to return. We will respond quickly with instructions for how to return items from your order.
Shipping Cost
We'll pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.). In other cases, you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.
If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
