“Possibly the best resolution I’ve seen of the age old practice-is-essential-but-can-never-work paradox, this book is extremely clear, concise, undiluted, focused on essentials, and entirely devoid of ‘mystical talk’. It is also very well-written—an unnecessary but nice bonus in this crowded genre.”
—David Hammon Greenwald
“Brilliantly matter-of-fact, humbly written and humbling to read, Matthew Lowes generously reaches out to the many of us who seek wisdom and peace but are lost in the labyrinth of post-modernism, abstraction, and distraction. And I am grateful for his outstretched hand: life-provoking wonder and unifying vitality.”
—Robert Lee
“Reading this book was moving and joyful. Matthew’s ability to explain his experiences and insights cut through in a powerful way.”
—Chad Leath
“It is amazing how clear he is and penetrates right through the human condition.”
—Bart
“That Which is Before You is a rare bird, a conjoining of enlightenment with a kind of innocence, for we don’t often find experiences of awakening described with uncomplicated language, and indeed without a claim of lineage transmission.”
—Caven
