As the experiences it relates transformed the author's life, this intimate, rich, initiatory work about the alchemy of the heart will transform readers' lives, too. Love demands that before we may be born again, we must be prepared to die. Following in the tradition of the Troubadours, those medieval singers who celebrated the power of love to transform, and of Orpheus, who descended into the underworld to rescue Eurydice, David Appelbaum has written a masterful account of what dying into love means from the inside. He writes poetically and truthfully of what the heart experiences. He writes what he has learned on the way to love from the midst of experience; his book is a report from the front.
