Timeless Reading

This is a book of mental depth not often found on a public bookshelf. Dag Hammarskjold kept his journal consistantly/regularly and then left written permission for it to be printed following his death. I found it to be, primarily, a "true profile" of the man, and then also an accurate historical document as I traced Hammarskjold's innermost thoughts connected to the history of the time. I believe this book has held our attention over so many years, because most humans on a spiritual quest can truely relate to his inner thoughts of relationship to God/ soul/ consciousness.

It feels special to "know" such a good, thoughtful, God-loving and honest man; it feels wonderful, these days especially, to walk with him in his political functioning and realize how lucky we were to have had such a man in an important world government position.

Markings is Awesome!!

This is my FOURTH COPY of this book; lent one out that was never returned... guess they liked it too! I always admired the late Secy-Genl of the UN, which is why I first picked up and bought this book. Don't miss out on a wonderful book!

A keeper

Reading the posted reviews can give someone an idea of what a great treasure this book. Wouldn't be without it, as I find after many years I still get something fresh at each reading. He was incredibly loved by the UN staff, and the pages of Markings give you real insight as to why this was. And admirable man, an admirable book. Certainly a book to be re-read NOW -- as the world is going so terrible wrong -- if we are to learn what the path of righteousness is all about. A true reflection that believes in loving your neighbor as yourself and loving God above all things.

Practical Spirituality

I found this book to be unique amongst most others.
It is one where you can pick and read any one (2 or 3) pages and find a contemporary philosophical (and often spiritual) reflection on life.
As an insight into the mind of a high profile person, it is interesting because it shows Hammarskjold's mental compass that he might've drawn upon in his position as UN Sec. Gen.
Despite a theme that is univeral at a personal level, this book is might not be for everyone.

An encounter of a lifetime

What a privilege to share the inner life of Dag Hammarskjold! The writings are personal and betray the very real struggles we all face and so rarely give word to. This is my second copy of this book and while it is not a literary giant, it is an amazing reflection of the soul of a remarkable man, the markings of his life.
