"An important, seminal work . . . . I can't recommend this book highly enough." -Ronald Rolheiser This poetic book on the Trinity offers reflections on the inter-personal dimensions of God and spells out the implications for our spiritual life.

Michael Downey shows us that the doctrine of the Trinity is a grammar by which Christians speak of the ineffable mystery of God's constant, eternal giving as gift. By accepting this gift we participate in the divine life.
