Synopsis

How do we make Jesus’ love come alive in our everyday lives?

The Imitation of Christ is one of the most enduring of the Christian documents. Reflecting on a famous passage, Easwaran explores what it means to make Jesus’ love come alive in our everyday lives.

Easwaran is one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. His books on meditation, spiritual living, and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into twenty-six languages.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a teacher of meditation and an authority on the mystical tradition, Easwaran shows what love is, how to love more effectively, and how we can strengthen our capacity to love.

This book includes an essay on Thomas à Kempis and mysticism in the late Middle Ages.

Revised second edition (July 2017) has a new cover, minor corrections, and a comfortable new size and updated interior layout.

From the Publisher

Eknath Easwaran offers aid in understanding Thomas a Kempis' writing, as well specific techniques for learning to love. Anecdotal and warm with many moving glimpses of what love means to well-known Christian mystics, this book shows what love is, how to learn to love more effectively, and what prevents many from loving more fully. The afterword by Carol Lee Flinders relates the personal story of Thomas a Kempis against the fascinating background of the flowering of mysticism in the late Middle Ages. Seeing With the Eyes of Love is part of a three-volume series, Classics of Christian Inspiration, which collects the best writing of Eknath Easwaran on well-loved and inspiring passages and mystics in the Christian tradition.

From the Back Cover

Reflecting on a celebrated passage from The Imitation of Christ - one of the most enduring Christian documents of all time - Eknath Easwaran offers insights into the practical means to make Jesus' love come alive in everyday life. This warm, anecdotal book shows us what love is, how to love more effectively, and how to overcome obstacles to loving more fully. Drawing on his wide experience as a teacher of meditation and his intimate knowledge of the Christian mystical tradition, Easwaran gives exhilarating glimpses of what love means to Christian mystics like Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Genoa, and others. An essay by Carol Lee Flinders relates the personal story of Thomas a Kempis and a short overview of the flowering of mysticism in the late Middle Ages. Included are brief instructions in eight basic spiritual practices that anyone can use in his or her present context to strengthen the capacity to love.
