Query: Very disappointing

If you want to learn anything about contemplative prayer and inclusive spirituality, buy another book. This is barely readable, disorganized and, at times, ranting. I wondered if it was written at a time the author was under great stress or felt persecuted by his church. Every so often there was a glimpse of an interesting idea that got lost in the rambling stream of prose. The only reason I read to the end was because I was going to a discussion group on this book. This author has written other good books but this isn't one.
