This book was quite uplifting although my faith differs from that of the author in some points.
The topics covered are wide ranging and thought provoking.
Recommended.
I was given this book by Netgalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

I expected this to be more of Talbot reflecting upon his life rather than reflecting upon his theology, so in that sense I was disappointed. It remains a truly interesting look at the modern monastic tradition, though, and I appreciate the "small bites" format. I think this would be great for reflections at the beginning of theology classes, family discussions, or religious small groups.

Lessons from a Troubadour
A Lifetime of Parables, Prose, and Stories
by John Michael Talbot

Pub Date 05 Oct 2018


I am reviewing a copy of Lessons from a Troubadour through Ave Marie Press and Netgalley:


John Michael Talbot’s concert meditations have been heard and appreciated by millions of those who have attended his concert over the last century are now available in this unique volume.


As John Michael Talbot’s music became popular over the years, he began to immerse himself in the teachings of the contemplatives, mystics and monastic fathers and mothers of the Christian tradition. Over time he started to share some of those teachings between songs, during retreats.



I give Lessons from a Troubadour five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

A wonderful book, inspirational and full of food for thought!
It's poetic and very well written. It can suggest ideas for any type of spirituality, non only Christian.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Ave Maria Press and Netgalley for this ARC
