From the Publisher:
To our readers: The books we publish are our contribution to an emerging world based on cooperation rather than on competition, on affirmation of the human spirit rather than on self-doubt, and on the certainty that all humanity is connected. Our goal is to touch as many lives as possible with a message of hope for a better world. - Hal and Linda Kramer, Publishers
From the Author:
After writing my first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, ten years passed with no further writing. Then the influence of a new mentor (I will someday write about, in a forthcoming memoir), I was compelled, provoked, stimulated to share new insights and perspectives with my readers. So, what began as a small booklet I was going to call "awakening the three selves" transformed, as if on its own accord, into Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior.
The odd thing about this story is that it is not a sequel -- that is, it doesn't pick up at the end of my first book. Rather, this story takes place within the time-frame of my first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, during a period of travel and exploration after Socrates sent me away to find myself and my place in the world. So literally, one can read my first book to about page 184, then read Sacred Journey, and then complete the first book to get a proper sense of chronology. I don't necessarily suggest that readers do this, but only want to place this story in its proper time and context.
As I write this note (in March of 2011), I am preparing to write the third book in the series, that does in fact follow, chronologically, from the end of Sacred Journey. More on that later...
In the meantime, I hope readers enjoy reading of my adventures with the woman I called Mama Chia, a Hawai'ian kahuna, a healer and sage, as I learn some fundamental secrets about who we are and where we're going.
