There is a movement in Christianity toward assimilating certain practices and attitudes of Eastern thought, which though sometimes present in nascent form in Christianity, really come to a full flowering in Hinduism and Buddhism. What We Can Learn From the East grew out of an invitation to speak to a pan-sectarian group of Christian retreat leaders who wanted to know what they could learn about spiritual development from Eastern traditions. Bruteau delivers the goods, elucidating Eastern concepts and drawing insightful parallels with Biblical passages. Her thorough grasp of Christianity as well as the Eastern traditions inspires confidence and attention.
