This centenary series of the Complete Works is a major accomplishment. Volume I ('I Have Found God') goes right to the heart of Elizabeth's mystical vocation with a positively riveting General Introduction by Conrad De Meester, O.C. D., followed by a brilliant translation of Elizabeth's writings by Alethia Kane. Elizabeth's four major spiritual treatises being written in the last three months of her life, it's difficult to go anywhere but to the distinct heart of her message. I doubt that I've ever read a more enlightened essay on Elizabeth than De Meester's. If you look to understand who this woman was, read his perfect Introduction; taken together with a brief biography, he produces an ancient Elizabeth in an essential light. His appreciation burns with real insight into an obscured message and an authentic modern mystic. Kane leaves Elizabeth's voice alone, as other translators have not, making Kane's courageous, and ultimately peerless contribution the more valuable by leagues. Highest recommendation for Vols. I & II-- it's a champion series.
Elizabeth's actual writings are simple, clear and etherial. My disappointment with the book lies in what I found to be excessive notes, references and observations. It seems like well over half of the book is fluff. I found this construction to be a real impediment to my spiritual focus as I tried to understand, concentrate and meditate on Elizabeth's messages. I will not take this book on a retreat. The publisher has injected too many distractions for this book to be an effective meditative tool for me. Elizabeth speaks of ''simplicity'', yet the way this book is presented, reading it is anything but simple.
I LIKED THE RETREATS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK VERY MUCH. I MADE A RETREAT WITH THE FIRST ONE AND LIKED IT.
An excellent book.
Beautiful....I use the retreats she has outlined as subjects for daily meditation. I look forward to reading her in French.
