Portraits Of Many Saints...

....destined to save the world.I have been attempting to gather the right words to titilate you to read this book. And this time, like many other times I say that I'm 'trying to push myself', I find my words lacking and feeble. It is a well done collection of some famous and some lesser known people of the inner journey--not just Jesus or Mohommed--but spiritualists and philosophers like Rabi'a, Meister Eckhart and Sojourner Truth. Like Brother Lawrence and the Baal Shem Tov. Like Thoreau and Rampersaud. Each person highlighted has a fine illustration done by Niclas Berry which is followed by a brief biography and quotes that are uplifting and enlightening. It is a book you can start in the middle, start at the end or wherever and read and get a great deal from.It has been a great addition to my library and I think it will be a treasured book in your library, also.

Superb stories about spiritually well developed individuals

This is a marvelous collection of stories about spiritually well developed individuals who represent a variety of religious teachings. As the title suggests, if you are physically fit, you are only half done concerning being in "great shape"!
