Summary: Bridges to cross, peaks to explore
Review: I was first introduced to Morton Kelsey and his wonderful books in 1975. All of his books have come at a time when I was looking for confirmation of my lived experiences, expecially the inner life. What a blessing to have this author give of himself in this way. I will be eternally grateful for his passion for the spiritual. In his book The Other Side, one very important point has stayed with me all these years and that would be the focus on dreams. Morton Kelsey does justice to dreams in the christian life when so many other christian authors avoid this means of communicating with God. Morton Kelsey explains that dreams are the safest and least threatening way to visit the other side. God only goes where he is wanted, He will not intrude. MT 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Summary: Confusing and repetitive
Review: Our study group chose this book as a source to learn more about comtemplative meditation. I am very disappointed in the book. Kelsey repeats himself over and over again. He makes statements that have no legs to stand on - and without giving them any - it seems that he assumes everyone accepts his pronouncements as truth. The short (of the long and the short) is that the book is poorly written and very confusing. It lacks clarity on every page.

Summary: Confusing and repetitive
Review: This book really changed my focus in life. It satisfied the craving that I had as a Christian for a deeper understanding of my relationship with God. I think that many Christians shy away from the unknown, like meditation and yoga, and as a result, cut out an essential part of our sprituality. Kelsey explains that this is why so many people today are turning to Eastern religions. Through this book, I found a way to incorporate silence and meditation into my life, and as a result, have found a deep peace, the peace that passes all understanding.
