Review:

Fascinating and moving to read. . . . Filled with encouragement, with the extraordinary eloquence of poetry, myth and religion . . . A massive encyclopedic gathering from the religions of both East and West, from science, psychology, philosophy. --Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times

The book is not intended as a polemic but rather as an invitation to an inward journey. . . . No other single source approaches this in scope of contents. --Choice Magazine, American Library Association

I read every page of this magnificent book. It is a superb piece of work. Easily the finest and most comprehensive on this subject. --Rev. Leslie D. Weatherhead, former President of the Methodist Conference of Great Britain
