Painting Heaven: Polishing the Mirror of the Heart

By Coleman Barks, Demi Hunt, Coleman Barks PhD

This illustrated tale introduces children to the wondrous teachings from the Muslim theologian and mystic al-Ghazali (1058-1111CE) This enchanting tale illustrates how that the human heart is like a rusty mirror which, when polished through beautiful doings, is able to reflect the real essence of all things. In addition to this story is a poem by the renowned poet, Coleman Barks. Both draw on the same account found in Ghazali's The Marvels of the Heart , Book XXI, of his magnum opus, The Revival of Religious Sciences .
