A fantastic collection of feeling and thought.

The Way Ahead is a magnificent collection of writings which will give you many hours for rich contemplation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. How rare it is to find musicians like Kitaro and Olatunji sharing their thoughts in the same circle as the HH the Daila Lama and HRH Prince Philip. The clarity of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and wife, Linda was refreshing. I was very pleased to see the work of African American Zen Master and author Vernon Kitabu Turner, the author of Soul Sword and the Secret of Freedom, included with that of the Asian Zen master and author, Thich Nhat Hahn and the poet, Allen Ginsberg. Kitabu's Turner/Roshi's vision of the role of Black people in the salvation of the world was beautiful, compassion and hopeful. I highly recommend that you buy this book and also Soul Sword and The Secret of Freedom by Vernon Kitabu Turner. There has been a missing element in the psycho-spiritual dialogue of our time. The Way Ahead has addressed that problem by pulling together a true cross-sections of minds which represent the peoples of the earth. You will find that Kitabu Turner strikes a universal chord, loud and clear, with no apologies sought or given for being black. His literary voice, showcased in this anthology, vibrates deep into the psyche. The entire book was uplifting. Eddie and Debbie Shapiro did their job well.
