Adventure of Faith

The author of this book recounts how she, a devout Christian, found the path of the Masters. The reader travels with the author from her childhood days in pre-war Germany to her life as a Benedictine nun and the years spent as a Catholic nun in a Hindu ashram in central India. When she discovered the inner path of Surat Shabd Yoga, she realized she needed a spiritual Master, a living Christ, to guide her in inner practice so she could experience God within herself. Although she learned the way from a contemporary Indian Master, she also discovered the mystic way of her own religion, Christianity. The book also gives a short survey of the teachings of the Masters, including quotations from the mystic teachings of Christian mystics.
