One River, Many Wells: Wisdom Springing from Global Faiths

One River, Many Wells. First of all, it is a truly inspired and wonderful title, and the title represents the content well. The book beautifully shares how the Infinite Lord God Almighty is not limited by any "box" someone (or some groups) might attempt to enclose Almighty Divine God, The Holy Spirit in. Diving into its contents some persons who may have sort of boxed-in their own mind, heart, spirit, and soul might be inspirited to open their hearts and allow the full infinite Grace of God flow in and THROUGH them. This of course would in turn fill them and free them to be fully used-of-God in loving service of who-ever they may come across in life.Clearly this is a beautiful and divine "putting of pen to paper" for us Interfaith Ministers and Chaplains. However, even those who may be dogmatic in thought and nature, judgmental/critical, and/or may take their own respective faith's Teachings and Scripture as black-and-white in-a-square-box literal, can have their eyes and hearts begin to open and layers of crusty-scales begin to fall.Sincerely searching the heart, surrendering in loving-service and prayer, in silent contemplation, and perhaps reflecting with open-hearted trusted fellow-beings, one may begin to see and understand that the basis, the central core, of All Faiths is Pure Selfless Love, Agape' Love, Unconditional Love... selfless Loving Service shall then unfold quite organically and naturally in the heart, mind, soul, intentions, thoughts, words, deeds, and actions of such-a-one. I heartily recommend it to one and all.

Wonderful, well researched look at the infinite ways to approach the Divine. “God is a mighty river that flows through humanity and there are many wells from which to find the presence. Of the Holy One.

This book is one of my all time favorite spiritual books written by exiled priest Father Matthew Fox, Dominican. Matthew Fox has a way of opening your eyes to the Great Mystery in a way that is inclusive, compassionate, passionate, intellectual and fascinating. Fox is an iconoclast and a modern-day-prophet- heralding the possibility of a new humanity built on celebrating diversity and finding common ground. I recommend this book unequivocally for all those who are weary of the hatred, division, dogmatism and cherry-picking self-serving 'religious' hypocrites who are committed to creating boundaries between peoples, cultures, races and religions. This book is needed today more than ever before. Dean Leh, M.A., M.S.Ed., Fordham University, NYC

This book has been an eyeopener for me. As a person living within a interfaith community I felt very open minded and somewhat educated about the different religions overall. I have been surprised at learning so many different and important ideas and view points concerning our major religions and the important individuals connected to them. Feel like a lot of my questions have been answered in a world view way.

Good conglomeration of other authors and poets and their mystic, cosmic views, but I never really got to know Matthew Fox's personal views as a Catholic priest turned Episcopalian. As a Catholic, that was important to me.

I love the way it is formatted, with quotes from the mouths of those who practice particular faith traditions. Loove the inclusiveness.

This book provided daily insight and inspiration to me; different cultural views on spirituality and religion that seems to all come together as One. I enjoyed this book, my favorite book for 2013, and I bought copies for my adult children as gifts. This book goes on my favorite book shelf.

This book has been a companion to me for daily meditation. The compilation of sacred truths from global religions is one of the hallmark of the author's presentation.

I love this book! I'm only half way through and find it hard to put down, it's well written, well sourced and beautiful. Matthew Fox is ahead of his time and knits together the mystical traditions wonderfully, giving the reader a wider insight into the similarities rather than differences between religions and mystic traditions.

The book lived up to my expectations as I was seeking materials to use in a multi-faith environment and those with none.

The book arrived very promptly. The content isn't quite what I expected but that is no fault of Amazon. Thanks.
