Radical Passion | Free Book
Harvey’s concepts of radical passion and sacred activism fly in the face of restraint, of pessimism, of denial, of all that is inhumane, fusing the mystic’s passion for God with the activist’s passion for justice and for healing the division between heaven and earth, heart and will, body and soul, prayer and action. Sacred activism asks that we engage deeply on a personal, spiritual, and political level so as to become a fully empowered, fully active, and contemplative humanity that can turn tragedy into grace, and desolation into the opportunity to build and co-create a new world.
Unlike many spiritual books, Radical Passion does not veil the dark with artificial hope. It explores the catastrophes of our current times and celebrates the ecstatic hope and divinity that is possible—right now and in the future.
In The Press
“It is not often that one individual responds to the yearnings of a
generation the way that Andrew Harvey responds to the times in which
we live. His piercing intellect and enormous heart bring together an
understanding of our age as well a non-violent strategy for addressing
its challenges. His Institute for Sacred Activism is one of the most
hopeful and powerful resources at our disposal for turning the
frustration and despair of millions into a wave of positivity.
Harvey’s work stands out as beacon of hope to whoever longs for a more
beautiful, just, and peaceful world.”
—Marianne Williamson, author of The Age of Miracles
“Andrew Harvey is a genius and an inspired visionary who has the
ability to interpret the meaning and significance of the chaos and
patterns of change that are redirecting the compass of our
contemporary culture. He is a spiritual, intellectual, and cultural
mystic whose passion is to awaken people to a new and essential
empowerment in this world: Sacred Activism. … His passion clearly
reveals that his soul is on fire with a grace that comes from the
Divine.”
—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit and
Sacred Contracts
“Radical Passion is both a trip and a pilgrimage,
a deep journey of stories, conversations, interviews, and reflections
on and with such notable spiritual figures as the Dali Lama, Fr. Bede
Griffiths, Rilke, Rumi, and Hermann Hesse. Harvey brings alive
good news about how to wake up and shape up before we destroy
ourselves and the planet. Filled with wisdom and joy, reality and
pain, critical analysis and practical tools, this book is sure to
enrich and inspire all who enter its field.”
—Matthew Fox, theologian and author of
Original Blessing, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ,
Christian Mystics, The Pope's War, and
