Meister Eckhart's Book of Secrets: Meditations on Letting Go and Finding True Freedom
Authors: Jon M. Sweeney & Mark S. Burrows
Overview
This elegant collection offers timeless wisdom from Meister Eckhart, the 14th-century Dominican friar and mystic whose teachings continue to inspire spiritual seekers across traditions. Carefully selected, translated, and reimagined by Jon M. Sweeney and Mark S. Burrows, these poetic meditations invite readers into the art of letting go, embracing paradox, and discovering the secret to true freedom.
Divided into five themes—Seeking the Light, Facing Darkness, Risking Love, Knowing Nothing, and Embracing Everything—the book serves as a guide to living authentically, finding inner peace, and learning that to truly find yourself, you must first lose yourself.
Why You’ll Love It
- Accessible wisdom: Eckhart’s original sermons and texts are re-shaped into lyrical meditations, making them easy to connect with.
- Spiritual depth: Blends Christian mysticism with universal themes that resonate across faith traditions.
- Practical use: Can be read from start to finish or dipped into as part of a daily meditation practice.
