"Someday Christian historians may write that the most significant church-related event of 1973 took place last week at the YMCA Hotel on S. Wabash." --Chicago Sun-Times, December 1, 1973 "While the rest of American Protestantism was enjoying the annual festival of orgy and guilt, [forty] or so evangelical Christians were making their way to Chicago to take part in marathon discussions which could well change the face of both religion and politics in America." --Christian Century, December 19, 1973 "This new concern is more enduring than that of the liberals because it is more strongly grounded on biblical imperatives." --George Cornell, Associated Press Columnist "I could identify with most of the recent Chicago Declaration . . . I think we have to identify with the changing of structures in society and try to do our part." --Billy Graham in Christianity Today, January 3, 1974 "If the movement sustains itself long enough to have engagements with the churches that produced its leaders, we may see something more significant than the now-passing 'Jesus freakism' or the ongoing Pentecostal-charismatic movements. Out of this, people might be fed, the law might be rendered justly, and America might relocate itself in the world. One can dream." --Martin E. Marty, in Context, March 15, 1974

A collection of Muggeridge's writings. Demonstrates that his preoccupation with might broadly be called "religious" questions is no recent quirk, but a theme running through all his writings.

In the words of the author: "My main purpose is to offer as definite and clear an idea as possible of the meaning, function and end of passion, and then convince the reader to go ahead and live passionately. There is an absolutely indispensable need for followers of Christ to become progressively conscious of human growth that is as thoroughly erotic and sexual as it is spiritual." The author breaks through the limits of literary romanticisms and the "pretty poisons" of superficiality which are such a great part of the past and present world. He brings us through a "Desert experience" and into the liberating life of mystical love. St. Paul, Elizabeth of Hungary, Joan of Arc and Thérèse of Lisieux exemplify for the author "the passion of God meeting and evoking the passion of man in compassion ... and through which the hard crust of the world is broke open." A book for everyone who seeks to go beyond the exhausted powers of eros and be lifted by the inexhaustible spirit into agape. [Back cover].
