Cloud of Unknowing: And the Book of Privy Counseling

1375 • 271 pages

I read this for class and there is some very helpful things here. Most of it I read twice, but I have not read the privy counseling section yet. I want to do that eventually, but I don't have time right now.

this is a book on contemplative prayer. And it is not a quick read. It was written in the 14th century, but there are aspects that are very current and aspects that are quite dated. But the advice to read old books still holds true. They may not be ‘better' but they are from a different perspective and that has real value.
