Logos Maggie Helass

An adventure into inner space. A true story set in apartheid South Africa in the late 1970s, about the perilous journey over the threshhold of the unconscious.



'This is a book of exceptional depth and candour, which manages to take us into the heart of one of the great crucibles of moral conflicts in the last half-century, into the hardest and most miraculous places of the life of the spirit (Spirit), and into the centre of a remarkable and deeply sympathetic individual. It is a rare, immensely moving chronicle.' +Rowan Williams



'An absorbing journey of the mind, charting the struggle for self-awareness and growth in the life of the spirit. Amy's inner pilgrimage spans three continents, taking her from childhood to womanhood, centred against the backdrop of South Africa in the 1970s. Here, in tantalising glimpses of the life of the church and the need for a spiritual mentor, we read of the climbing of mountains both real and metaphorical.' Warrill Grindrod



'Logos is epic in its scope, describing a woman's inner journey through the particularities of spiritual writings, an abrasive marriage and deep friendship, the beauty and terrors of place in the darkening world of South Africa and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.' Andrew Hamilton, SJ
