PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The prolific Fox (Creativity; Meditations with Meister Eckhart), best known for his treatments of a variety of themes within spirituality as well as works on the great mystics, this time urges men to connect "with a spiritual side they do not know exists within them." As Fox mentions, the word "hidden" in the title refers to an undiscovered, buried, even intentionally suppressed quality the "Divine Masculine" among men. The author tackles such spiritual themes as the body, sexuality, creativity, and fatherhood, exploring how these areas of human experience are also gateways to the Divine Masculine often explaining how the Divine Masculine relates to the Divine Feminine within these areas as well. Fox's ideas about men's spirituality are complex, unlike the broth-thin prosperity spirituality sold by the likes of Rhonda Byrne. Fox deserves to find his true audience thinking men (and women as well) who desire a rich exploration of "male spirituality" by a thinker who can draw as easily on Thomas Aquinas as he does on Greek mythology and the work of the Indian saint Swami Muktananda.
