About the Book

There is a seismic shift necessary from being religious to being a true disciple. Here is the contemplative's perspective. It is an abiding sorrow to the author that many faithful religious people, even regular church goers, understand so little of the great truths they so sincerely profess to believe, especially among young people. Unless a real love for Jesus is awakened in their hearts, unless they have been helped to see something of the sheer wonder and beauty of the contents of the faith in which they are instructed, how can they withstand the atheism of our materialistic society? There is a vast difference between being religious and faith in God revealed in Jesus Christ. There is an inner disturbance and distress among people today which can be a secret call from the Spirit to go beyond the externals to a purer, deeper faith, to an encounter, mysterious by its very nature, with the living and true God revealed in Jesus Christ. What seems so very simple is in fact shatteringly profound. This is the contemplative's genius.

About the Author :
Ruth Burrows is a Carmelite Nun from Quidenham in Norfolk, UK. She is the author of a number of bestselling books including Guidelines for Mystical Prayer and Essence of Prayer.

Review :
Featured in 'the living spirit' section of The Tablet. In this short book, [Ruth Burrows] attempts to distil the wisdom and experiences gained from her life as a Carmelite nun into a vigorous and compelling presentation of what it means to be Christian. Reviewed in the Church of Ireland Gazette. Discussed by Rowan Williams in The Catholic Herald. Now that the majority of most congregations are elderly and reluctant to go out at night, it is a good idea to recommend an inexpensive book as a Lenten substitute. It should be primarily intended for committed Christians to use during Lent for reflection in preparation for their celebration of the climax of revelation, the death and resurrection of our Saviour. Love Unknown satisfies these requirements supremely well. Interview with author Ruth Burrows in The Tablet. Nowhere is the sense that the search for the things of God can be both the most satisfying and the most difficult of tasks more keenly and intelligently expressed than in the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book, Love Unknown... A lifetime of prayer and study is distilled here. Selected in 'the pick of the new books in paperback' feature in the Church of England Newspaper. Interview with author Ruth Burrows featured in The Times. Review by Christopher Howse taken from The Tablet featured in The World Community for Christian Meditation in the UK. ... Ruth Burrows, a Carmelite nun and renowned spiritual writer, offers a most profound set of insights on the joys and challenges of the Christian life... Each [chapter] is a gem in its own right, and this would be an ideal book for individuals to read steadily through Lent... Featured at number 1 in the Church Times' top ten religious books.
