Description: This work focuses on a reality central to each human
life and basic to every branch of theology; namely, the immanent
transcendence of God. This study begins by exploring that theme of
mystery hidden yet revealed from the perspective of the
interrelationship of transcendence, self-actualization and creative
expression. The book goes on to describe the interplay of those
three elements in the lives and the works of, Thomas Merton, monk
and writer, and Georgia O'Keeffe, artist. People from a wide
variety of backgrounds and traditions will find this study a
stimulating source of insight for their spiritual quest.
Endorsements: What is missing so badly in our current culture is a
sensitive, deeply intuitive yet compelling understanding of how
meaning and transcendence work and support our ordinary efforts to
be the best persons we are called to be. What Dr. Coombs so vividly
describes for us, through two very valuable case studies - Thomas
Merton and Georgia O'Keeffe - is that we are never alone on this
journey. Dr. Michael Rock University of Guelph M.A. and MBA
programs Guelph, Ontario, Canada 'Mystery Hidden Yet Revealed' is a
dynamically engaging work of art. Coombs weaves the threads of
paradox into a tapestry of beauty. Like all art, this work needs to
be contemplated over and over. Each line, each paragraph opens new
insight and wonder, causing the reader to stand back in awe only to
be drawn deeper into the creative process which makes this book
unique. Through presenting Merton and O'Keeffe as icons, Coombs
helps us experience Mystery unfolding and finding expression
throughout their lives and their particular works. This book is a
mystical vision of the interrelatedness within all of life. Readers
will be captivated by its message and excited about its
possibilities. --Jean Springer EREMOS, A center of Contemplative
