"Temple" by Joseph Montgomery is among the most profound and wondrous compilations of poetry that I have beheld. I was unprepared for the journey that I was embarking upon. With vivid word-painting and penetrating insight, "Temple" is a work of Awakening. The author takes his reader on a journey of true transformation- it is as if each poem is filled with the kind of words which brings the reader, as an explorer, more fully into his or her own Self... a quest of sacred love, a journey of Spirit, a Path of Love and Awakening."
