Publisher's Synopsis
THE SIMPLE ROAD is more than a book. This concise statement is a spiritual GPS that guides the earnest seeker past dead-ends and wrong turns to locate the path that most intimately and directly connect us with the Source of all life. The methods and ideas in this book can help rescue you from a crisis and provide a daily source of practice. This brave work addresses difficult topics that are often shunned or ignored in works of "proper" theology, including the question of physical healing by spiritual means - a topic treated with deepest seriousness - and with the existence of hostile forces that test us on the spiritual path. THE SIMPLE ROAD is balm for parched souls. Whatever tradition you belong to or if you belong to no one tradition, THE SIMPLE ROAD helps you locate the thread of universality that runs through all faiths and leads you to practices, prayers, methods and parables that lift your daily journey to a higher, better place. This brief, powerful book can bring you literally life-saving solace when facing life's entanglements. "When you grow exhausted with all of today's spiritual programmes, axioms, seminars and techniques; when you feel fatigued from searching and cannot find a way forward; when it seems that years of seeking have netted so little throw yourself upon the essential truths in this book.It can be lifesaving."-Mitch Horowitz, from the introduction As a scholar and seeker, Harris has traversed and helped shape broad swaths of our modern spiritual landscape. Now, he distills the insights he has found - all of them potent, powerful and, above all, useful - in THE SIMPLE ROAD.
