Love Strong as Death is a fascinating account of a life dedicated to love. Ronald Walls is a Scotsman born in Edinburgh. He spent his early adult life as a minister in the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. In 1948, with his wife and three sons, he converted to the Catholic Church and faced both personal and job crises for this unpopular decision. After his wife''s tragic death in 1974, he worked through his grief to find himself called to the priesthood. His autobiography relates the long journey of this burning desire for truth, his happiness in ministry and marriage, his thoughts on the conflict between the two, and the love that led him to run the risk of losing everything.

In this wide-ranging book, Bouyer both explores our ineradicably religious nature and traces the paths of GodΓÇÖs self-revelation which culminate in Christ and the proclamation of the Father.

Louis Bouyer, one of the 20th century giants of Catholic theology, here addresses a breathtaking range of questions related to the world: the history of origin studies, from cosmogonic myth to philosophical cosmologies, from magic to mysticism. Science, myth, philosophy, theology, poetic experience and technology here constantly rub elbows. Through it all he explores the insightfulness of Christian revelation penetrating the mystery, as a reflection of the mystery of that other cosmos it reflects; the inner being of God, the creator. Louis Bouyer is a priest, theologian, teacher and writer.

ΓÇ£Arriving at the end of my course, after more than fifty years of presence in the monastery, an instinct pushes me to share my great hope of eternal life, as I have shared recently my small experience of fasting.ΓÇ¥ In this meditation of the phrase ΓÇ£to desire eternal lifeΓÇ¥ from the Rule of St. Benedict, Adalbert de Vogue shares what hope has been for him before entering the monastery and after. Then he surveys Holy Scripture as a simple hearer of the Word (lectio divina) and finally he listens once more to some beloved phrases of the ancient monks before and after St. Benedict. ΓÇ£To desire eternal lifeΓÇ¥ should challenge each Christian today as it challenged Fr. Adalbert de Vogue. He who gives himself to Christ will not die but will live forever, because He is eternal life. Adalbert de Vogue is a monk of la Pierre-qui-Vire in France.

Beautiful prayer poems, covering the full spectrum of the spiritual life from despair to exaltation. Like the biblical psalms, they use simple, elemental language that is accessible to everyone, yet they are entirely modern in tone and imagery. They may be read as an aid to prayer and meditation, or simply enjoyed as fine poetry in their own right.
