'A great swansong by a great spiritual master of our time. A lucid, powerful and compassionate book.' Tablet In Cry of Wonder, Gerard W. Hughes, author of God of Surprises, encourages readers to explore their own human experience, the unique doorway opening each of us out into the mystery of our present existence. In our time, such attention to mystery is considered counter-cultural and subversive of law and order. The truth of this observation becomes very clear to us if we give attention to our own felt reactions to the events of our lives. The purpose of this book is to focus our attention on this inner conflict, because it can reveal to us a vision of the transformation into which we are all now being invited in all that we are experiencing in every moment of our existence.

In Cry of Wonder Gerard W. Hughes, celebrated author of God of Surprises encourages his readers to reflect deeply on their own experience. In our time, this is considered counter-cultural, subversive of law and order and anarchic. But the truth becomes manifest in our words and in our actions. There is an appalling rift today between our words and the truth of things, yet contemplation can be the key to peace in the world and peace within ourselves. In this compelling new spiritual work, Hughes explores how self-reflection can provide the remedies of our ills.

This book . . . will prove a valuable contribution to the attempt to develop this discipline in a way acceptable to both the secular psychoanalytical/therapeutic sphere and the church/ministerial sphere.
