Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul
Authors: Jon M. Sweeney & Mark S. Burrows
Overview
Meister Eckhart (1260–1328)—priest, mystic, and controversial teacher—spoke a language of paradox and depth that transcended his own era. Although accused of heresy in his lifetime, Eckhart’s wisdom has since been embraced by spiritual seekers across traditions, influencing figures such as Erich Fromm, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Rudolf Steiner.
In this luminous rendering, Jon M. Sweeney and Mark S. Burrows reintroduce Eckhart’s vision to a modern audience. His startling meditations on the love of God, the mystic path, and the embrace of mystery speak directly to our restless, uncertain times. With a poetic voice that echoes Rumi, Hafiz, and Kabir, this collection captures the heart of one of Christianity’s greatest contemplatives—offering a guide into intimacy with the divine and a life of authentic transformation.

Reviews
“In reading Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart, it again came to mind why I am so drawn to the poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, and Kabir. There is revelation in this book … I sincerely feel it will help one look deeper into the eyes of the Christ and know more of God’s knowledge and love.”
— Daniel Ladinsky, bestselling author of Love Poems from God
“In the ecstatic spirit of Rumi and Hafiz, Meister Eckhart’s words dance and invite the reader into an intimate encounter with the divine. Reading these poems sets the heart ablaze and the spirit soaring.”
— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, author of The Artist’s Rule
“Mark Burrows and Jon Sweeney achieve something quite rare and wonderful here. They make Eckhart clear, concise, and very compelling!”

“If a dose of Meister Eckhart is like a morning pot of coffee, this concentrated and poetic reduction is like a book full of double espresso shots—each is about as much as you can take in and metabolize in a day.”
— Brother Paul Quenon, Abbey of Gethsemani
“Each poem is short, spare, distilled … a sure-footed path toward mastering one of the great masters of the last millennia.”
