"A sumptuous feast. Roger Gottlieb has thrown a dinner party of the spirit. To it he has invited some of the most provocative teachers of this generation. And his book, A New Creation: America's Contemporary Spiritual Voices, is our invitation. He has seated us at the table with a diverse company of spiritual voices, and by carefully introducing each at his or her proper time, by the conclusion of the meal, we understand the parameters of American spirituality and the challenge it is facing any serious student in the years ahead." - Rabbi Lawrence Kushner
"An axial shift is taking place today in our understanding of what reatly matters: not the truths out there with their rival claims, but the inner Truth of who we really are. Roger Gottlieb has an ear for voices that can help us make that shift and find that Truth. He offers us (as Kierkegaard did) texts that challenge the way we live; he has (like Wiesel) an eye for the point where pain and bliss, outrage and praise, converge; and throughout he maintains an undercurrent of radical commitment (the kind Gandhi taught us)." - Brother David Steindl-Rast
