The Book of the Minims - Joseph Randolph Bowers - Bog

The Minim Way is a Way of Life and Guide for the Soul's Journey. The Eremitas Familia Minima, the Smallest Family of Solitaries, or the Minims, is anyone who identifies with this Ancient Way of Living in the Now. This little Book holds the secrets of many lifetimes. You will find a renewed vision of the ancient Franciscan and Bodhisattva vows, with profound reflections on the spiritual path. The Way and Life are presented in an ontopoetics of soulful listening. The Poetry of Soulful Awakening is followed by the foundation's Constitution as a gift for those who would live in the Minim Way into the future.
