This is a book I added during my 'Christian mystic phase' of many years back. I've been a little less interested in that side of things lately, though I do own and skim Merton, de la Cruz and Avila now and then. But I don't think I'll ever add Griffiths to my physical collection.
Return to the Center is a book for those would-be Christian mystics who prefer "Cosmic Energy" to "God," "suffering of ego attachment" to "sin." Showing the similarity between Xian and Hindu/Buddhist religion is something I myself could talk at lengths, but this often went to Eastern religion with a Christian face. Posing Satan as the spiritual counterpoint to God is incorrect, for one instance. J-C religion is uniquely not a good-evil dichotomy as religion goes. There's a lot of these square peg comparisons.
