Kim Boykin will demystify and deepen your understanding of both the traditions she practices. A gem!" -- James W. Fowler, author, Stages of Faith >"The great religions of the world have much to learn from each other. Kim Boykin's book is a skillful step in that direction. The heart of the matter of Zen is presented in a direct and informative way that is based on her firsthand experience of Zen training. This should prove to be a helpful guidebook for any Christian who wishes to explore Zen practice." -- John Daido Loori, roshi, abbot, Zen Mountain Monastery "This lovely, wise, and practical introduction to Zen keeps its promise of companionship as the kind of spiritual cookbook you can bring right into the kitchen. Recipe-reading like this, in fact, inspires you to get into the kitchen, encourages you to keep at it, and invites you to share your efforts in communion with others." -- Steven Tipton, coauthor, Habits of the Heart "An excellent resource on Zen practice, written from a pragmatic, personal, and yet sophisticated point of view. What a fine contribution to Buddhist-Christian understanding!" -- Judith Simmer-Brown, coauthor, Benedict's Dharma: Buddhists Comment on the Rule "This is a good-humored, intelligent, nonguilt-inducing book written by a person who shows us clearly what it would be like to reap the benefits of what she preaches." -- Roberta Bondi, author, Memories of God and Houses: A Family Memoir of Grace
