It is a small book written for readers without an in depth background in philosophy, especially existentialism. It is an examinnation of the interface between Christian meditation and Zen Buddhism. It is contextual, and as of yet I have not included the meditation workshop book that I use when I am giving workshops on Christian Zen meditation. Presently, it is really in the format of an in depth essay. The style is siminlar to one of your publications that had led me to your site i.e Emotion and Psyche, Marc Jackson.I have presented this workshop also on college campuses in the midwest, and it was received well. It helps greatly clarify the nature o af promising and practical dialogue between Christian existentialism and the practice of Zen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled With the Christian Spirit
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012
I have read this book and have suggested it to several of my young adults friends. Many of the young adults in my community have said they were "spiritual" but were not attached to any faith statement of any Christian denomination. Many of them have shared they felt more moved by what they knew of Budism. In this book, I have found a concise resource for sharing and affirming both their verbage and mine. In just under a hundred pages they and I were able to combine the meditation practice of Zen with Christian doctrine.

This book affirms these young adults... but it, also, shares with them how the teaching and meditation techniques of Zen can enrich Christian belief practice and experience.

I have had a great deal of positive feedback from this group of 25 young adults who read and discussed this book with me. A few of the young adults have said they have told others to read it. Next year, I will be using this book as one of the books that I will be discussing in our congregation's book club forum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meditational Excellence
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2012
I reviewed this book in my blog by saying that McVey captures the essence of both existentialism and zen budhism in a concise, constructive and informative way. I recommend it for both Christians and non Christians. To read the full review, please google EPISCOPAL JOURNEY OF HOPE Then scroll down until you see Existentialism and Christian Zen and enjoy reading it. Also, why not read some of the rest of our blogs authored by outstanding retired Episcopal Clergy who are very savvy about the state of the church in today's time and projections into the future.
