Messenger of the Heart: The Book of Angelus Silesius Reviews
-
ⓒ 1985. Beautiful book of religious poetry by a 17th century mystic Lutheran turned Catholic. Franck translates from the German and illustrates as well as including quotes of zen masters on similar themes.

This was enjoyable for the most part. I liked learning about Angelus Silesius's life, found some of the verses thought-provoking, and liked the illustrations. I didn't always find the insights that illuminating, but there were definitely some gems in there, and could very well be my own philosophical/spiritual limitations. I didn’t love this as much as the other Frederick Franck books I’ve read.
