Synopsis
Whereas other Christianity-meets-Buddhism books stress ideology and the intellect, this one emphasizes daily acts of practice. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In this illuminating and insightful guide, Kim Boykin offers Christians a way to incorporate Zen practices into their lives without compromising their beliefs and faith. Zen for Christians assumes curiosity but no real knowledge as it walks readers through specific concepts of Zen philosophy -- including suffering, attachment, and enlightenment -- and explains each in a simple but lively way. Sections between chapters gently demonstrate Zen meditation practices, explaining the basics in a clear, engaging manner. Placing Buddhist and Christian teachings side by side helps readers not only understand Zen but also shows their compatibility. Drawing on Dr. Boykin's own personal search through Buddhism and Christianity as well as her background in theological studies, this thought-provoking work illustrates how Zen practice can be particularly useful for Christians who want to enrich their faith by incorporating contemplative practices. An excellent introduction to Zen -- clear and to the point, practical, respectful, and even humorous at times. -- Yoga Journal Makes Zen practice more approachable and less esoteric ... a straightforward guide for those who want to try Zen for themselves. -- Monastic Interreligious Dialogue Bulletin A trustworthy and delightful guide. Kim Boykin will demystify and deepen your understanding of both the traditions she practices. A gem! -- James W. Fowler, author, Stages of Faith Kim Boykin writes in the skilled language of simplicity. While addressing those new to Zen, she offers practical wisdom, challenge, and encouragement to all practitioners. -- Rose Mary Dougherty, Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation, Bethesda, Maryland The great religions of the world have much to learn from each other. Kim Boykin's book is a skillful step in that direction. The heart of the matter of Zen is presented in a direct and informative way that is based on her firsthand experience of Zen training. This should prove to be a helpful guidebook for any Christian who wishes to explore Zen practice. -- John Daido Loori, roshi, abbot, Zen Mountain Monastery This lovely, wise, and practical introduction to Zen keeps its promise of companionship as the kind of spiritual cookbook you can bring right into the kitchen. Recipe-reading like this, in fact, inspires you to get into the kitchen, encourages you to keep at it, and invites you to share your efforts in communion with others. -- Steven Tipton, coauthor, Habits of the Heart An excellent resource on Zen practice, written from a pragmatic, personal, and yet sophisticated point of view. What a fine contribution to Buddhist-Christian understanding! -- Judith Simmer-Brown, coauthor, Benedict's Dharma: Buddhists Comment on the Rule This is a good-humored, intelligent, nonguilt-inducing book written by a person who shows us clearly what it would be like to reap the benefits of what she preaches. -- Roberta Bondi, author, Memories of God and Houses: A Family Memoir of Grace, "Whereas other Christianity-meets-Buddhism books stress ideology and the intellect, this one emphasizes daily acts of practice." -- Publishers Weekly. No prior knowledge of Zen philosophy is necessary for this reader-friendly guide, which offers Christians a way to incorporate contemplative practices into their lives by showing its compatibility with their beliefs. Boykin brings her own personal search through Buddhism and Christianity as well as her background in religious studies to the table in this illuminating and insightful walk through spiritual practice., No prior knowledge of Zen philosophy is necessary for this reader-friendly guide, which offers Christians a way to incorporate contemplative practices into their lives without compromising their beliefs., "Whereas other Christianity-meets-Buddhism books stress ideology and the intellect, this one emphasizes daily acts of practice." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In this illuminating and insightful guide, Kim Boykin offers Christians a way to incorporate Zen practices into their lives without compromising their beliefs and faith.

    Had difficulties with receiving item due to it needing a signature and package repeatedly attempted delivery during hours when most people are at work. Seller was very communicative and accommodating. Item was as described. It was packaged extremely well, and is of a great value.
