A fascinating book

This book documents a 40 day fast on water of a New Zealand Sufi teacher as he travelled through India, Pakistan and Afganistan during Ramadan, the Mostem month of fasting. A very readable, profound book, well worth purchasing.

The diary of a spiritual teacher

This books diaries a major spiritual transition which came after 30 years of hard work. It also shows the need for discipline on the spiritual path and the relationship with one's teacher. As an account of the Hajj this book also observes with sorrow the limitations of orthodox faith within Islam.
