Book description
So many of us are searching for a spiritual path. Although our
reasons may differ, we share the same basic motivation: to lessen
suffering and enhance our sense of fulfillment. 50 Spiritual Classics:
Timeless Wisdom from 50 Books of Inner Discovery, Enlightenment and
Purpose is an inspirational guide that introduces you to different
ideas regarding enlightenment, fulfillment and purpose, ideas that
span centuries, continents, spiritual traditions and secular beliefs.

human spirituality by reviewing works from some of the world's

Carlos Castaneda; Pema Chödrön; Mohandas Gandhi; Hermann Hesse; Aldous
Huxley; Carl Gustav Jung; C. S. Lewis; Malcolm X; Thich Nhat Hanh;
Starhawk; Mother Teresa; Eckhart Tolle.
