From the Inside Flap
Tom Butler-Bowdon’s selections for 50 Spiritual Classics are bound to be
controversial. From mega-bestsellers to 1st Century writings, stories of
personal journeys to biographies of spiritual leaders through the ages,
Butler-Bowdon places each work into its historical context and offers insightful
commentary on how these classics can help spiritual seekers everywhere bring
personal beliefs, values and practices squarely into the center of their every
day lives.
50 Spiritual Classics captures the diversity of life journeys that span
centuries, continents, spiritual traditions and secular beliefs: from the
historical The Book of Chuang Tzu to modern insight from the Kabbalah, from St.
Augustine’s Confessions to Eckhart Tolle’s recent The Power of Now, from Don
Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements to Rick Warren’s phenomenon The Purpose-Driven
Life. The first and only bite-sized guide to the very best in spiritual writing,
this one-of-a-kind collection includes personal diaries and compelling
biographies of such diverse figures as Gandhi, Malcolm X, and Black Elk; Eastern
philosophers and gurus including Krishnamurti, Yogananda, Chögyam Trungpa and
Suzuki; and Western saints and mystics such as St. Francis of Assisi, Herman
Hesse and Simone Weil.
In its commentaries of both the conventional classics as well as new writings
destined to endure, 50 Spiritual Classics makes universal the human spiritual
experience beyond time and space and will inspire spiritual seekers everywhere
to begin their own adventure.
