Review

"A much needed journey into the minds and hearts of the great prophets of our world; academic, yet heart filled, stimulating and illuminating . . . This rare text answers many questions others leave hanging, and touchs the spirit as well as the mind." --Alan Cohen, author, A Deep Breath of Life, and contributing author of Chicken Soup for the Soul

I was much taken by the idea of this book when I first learned it was in the making, but the execution of it--the reality of it--is just wonderful. Its publication is a truly timely event, bound to nourish those who are soul-weary of combativeness in the name of religion. --Carol Lee Flinders, Ph.D, author of Enduring Lives: Portrait of Women and Faith in Action

Richard Hooper shatters any preconceived notions that there is only "one way" to enlightenment. Instead, he blazes a pather of collective understanding beyond dogma toward finding the divinity with ourselves." --Judy Martin, National Radio Journalist and found of WorkLifeMonitor.com
