Review Quotes

"I devoured Soul Mates like some comfort food for the spirit . . . Moore moves love off the fast track and into the realm of mystery and imagination where it belongs." -- New Woman

"[Moore] delights in plainness, things imperfect, ragged edges, loose ends, failures, flops, incompletions, annoyances, dissatisfactions. The comfort he offers is that in such shortfalls from ultimacy and salvation, we may find our richest reality. The soul's fertility is slow and organic." -- New Orleans Times Picayune

"An eloquent, passionate, often mystical exploration of how we mere mortals might better understand ourselves and others in a late-20th century society in which so much emphasis is placed on interpersonal dynamics and so little on introspection, care, grace, gratitude and honor." -- Detroit News

"In richly textured and shaded prose, he evokes mythology, poetry and sacred and philosophical traditions to speak not to our agendas but to our souls." -- San Francisco Chronicle
