Customer Reviews

A must for anyone seeking "Inner Light"

Is Jalamanta a fictitious story of a man banished by his government for his religious insight, or is it a parable of what today's society is becoming. Rudolfo Anaya does a wonderful job of making one look at themself and ask "What is my path and how does it interconnect with others." Do we believe everything we read in the papers and see on TV, or do we strive for the true answers? I think many will ask themselves if they really even know what questions to ask much less what truths to seek. The story takes us down a path of enlightenment through the eyes of others. It will make you question some of your own dogmas and how they influence your interaction with others in everyday life.
