The Gateless Gate : Our Inward Journey Home by George S. Gordon (2009, Trade Paperback)

There are certain books which have the ability, like certain rare individuals, not only to give a joyous sense of life—sustain life—but augment life as well. The book you are now holding is just such a book. It is a modern retelling of the ancient Chinese classic, The Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu five hundred years before the birth of Christ. Though ancient, its message is timeless. Simply and beautifully written, it is rich in wisdom. Not a wisdom to be studied in school—or produced in a laboratory—nor expounded by inductive or deductive logic. It follows no syllogism. It eludes reason. Not produced by the mind, it issues from the heart alone. For any book to truly live, it must be through the passionate recommendation of one reader to another—for this reason, I offer it to you.
