For me reading Still Point was complicated and confusing at first until I read more and starting thinking about what the author was trying to tell us. It questioned if there is a life after death, if we will be reunity with our love ones that have already died. I myself do believe in Heaven and that I will see my love ones again. I have hope for this and believe in God totally, I have never questioned my beliefs.

Regis Martin tells us in this book the key, once more is prayer. And, again what is prayer but the courtesy God confers when inviting us to the dignity of becoming a cause of that for which we pray. Nothing less will pry loose the planks that seal us off from the world here the dead dwell, those we long for communion with, the blessed ones whom we await in hope on the other side.

Christ can pull off a miracle this sublime. Only he can mediate the difference between the heart that longs for release from death and desolation, and the head that knows there is only the fall into finitude and death. Only Christ, in other words, perfectly qualifies to be that point of intersection, the still point, where time and eternity, nature and grace. God and man all suddenly come together, annealed in the Body and the Blood of a humanity assumed by God himself. The still point is "where every where and every when is focused."

I was given this book from ave maria press. ( )
