Ledger-Transcript In these reductive and fundamentalist times,
Thomas Moore asks us to question the workings of a sun-bright
culture, which demands our happy, healthy productivity at perhaps
the cost of our very soul. -- Andre Dubus III, author of HOUSE
OF SAND AND FOG Thomas Moore is one of the profound spiritual
writers of our time. We've all been discouraged by neat, tidy
self-help dogmatism, and Moore refuses to succumb to the
commercialism of simplistic, superficial, and subjective solutions.
Moore helps us see expectations and is always on the side of
abundant life. -- John Bradshaw, author of #1 New York Times

new kind of therapist--a doctor of the soul--which in our century
has been in short supply. -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of MEANING
& MEDICINE and BEYOND ILLNESS Thoughtful, elegant, inspiring.

times, when we lie awake at night unable to sleep, wishing we had a
comforting book to read. Now you do. DARK NIGHTS OF THE SOUL brings
solace to the aching heart. -- Marianne Williamson, author of

of conveying the insight that the dark times in our lives are not
threats but friends and teachers. -- Rabbii Harold Kushner,
author of WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE PRAISE FOR CARE
