Customer Reviews

Not a coaster or a doorstop

This is one of those books that never stays on the shelf. In fact, it is almost always lent out. Which is why I bought this copy. My husband already owned a copy, but we wanted a second one so we could always have one on hand. It is a collection of spiritual readings from many sources. Selections include Socrates, Jung, Freud, Jesus Christ, Saint Francis of Assissi... The selections all have one thing in common, a search for Spiritual Truth.

A Rich Compilation of Spritual Wisdom

If I could only read one book for the rest of my life, this would be it

The best companion for a life's journey

This book has been my spiritual compass for 24 years. In that time I have found no other to equal the inspiration derived from it.

A deep, ecumenical anthology of the spiritual search

Now that the millenium is drawing to a close, this book is needed more than ever. It is a thoughtful, deeply felt and balanced anthology of writings that come from the deepest heart of humanity. It has inspired and uplifted me and revealed to me a world of wonder, wisdom and compassion that I never knew existed. I have always held a healthy distrust of dogma and spiritual superiority. This book shows that all teachings ultimately converge on themselves. It points to a fresh way to conduct our lives-one of openness, suffering, pain, joy and dignity. It is tuly a wonderful book. If the publisher of the book reads this, I hope it convinces him to reissue it. My copy is dog eared, weathered and yellowed from countless drops of coffee from coffee shops everywhere. For me, it is a sort of spiritual teddy bear that I carry with me everywhere. (So much for non-attachment.)

A must reading for seekers of spiritual growth

It is an anthology with an exhaustive and well organised compilation of various subjects in spiritual growth. I used to read this book everynight before going to bed till I lost it.
