WALKING IS NOT MADNESS

Book
Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, the two authors of this book journey, seeking to understand and share God's action in the world and in their lives. And just as the two disciples recognize Jesus in his breaking of bread, but only after a long journey of recognition that had already begun during the journey, when the mysterious traveler joined them, so the two authors feel they are not alone on this journey, and that God himself is revealing himself to them in the traveler's shoes, in the eyes of their other traveling companion.

The book doesn't always flow at the same pace; there are parts that are quick to read, others where the pace slows as the reasoning becomes more complex. After all, that's life: sometimes you rush, other times you're forced to slow down.
That a psychoanalyst and a pastor can embark on a spiritual journey together is not only enriching for those too accustomed to thinking of God only through the words of religious jargon, but it also demonstrates once again that the Spirit blows where it wills, and this can be recognized as much in the words of a healer of souls as in those of a man of science.
