{"product_id":"markings","title":"Markings","description":"Universally known and admired as a peacemaker, Dag Hammarskjöld concealed a remarkable intense inner life which he recorded over several decades in this journal of poems and spiritual meditations, left to be published after his death. A dramatic account of spiritual struggle, Markings has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers since it was first published in 1964.\n\nMarkings is distinctive, as W.H. Auden remarks in his foreword, as a record of \"the attempt by a professional man of action to unite in one life the via activa and the via contemplativa.\" It reflects its author's efforts to live his creed, his belief that all men are equally the children of God and that faith and love require of him a life of selfless service to others. For Hammarskjöld, \"the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.\" Markings is not only a fascinating glimpse of the mind of a great man, but also a moving spiritual classic that has left its mark on generations of readers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0571060153\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0571060153.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dag Hammarskjold\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
