Sacres Journeys in a Modern World by Rger Housden

This is more for the adults than something I would share with my children. It has some fastinating insights as to how we treat eachother on a daily basis, what we take for granted and what we expect of eachother. I read it twice to be sure and gather all the information in and was surprised at what I had missed the first time around. I have told several of my friends about this book and have perchased it for a close dear one as well. This is a must read for anyone looking for the "self" and thinking it's in far away places. It's only as far as your heart and mind, as far as you allow it to be.

A truly unique book of spiritual quest

For over a period of 30 years this Englishman has "regularly dropped my ordinary routine and gone walkabout in remote and untamed regions of the world, or taken myself off along some pilgrimage route that aims at the heart of one of the world's great spiritual traditions." Because I have been unable and often unwilling to do that, Housden's spiritual quests are as compelling a read as I have found in the "spiritual" book category. From St. Catherine's in the Sinai (one of my favorites) to St. John the Divine cathedral in NYC, his adventures touch the heart, the soul and the funny bone. Read it and give it away to your friends, which is what I did for Christmas.
