Sea Without Shore

Więcej o książce

THE SUMMONS OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE EXTENDS ACROSS time and place through all heaven-sent revelations. At the core of every heart it reaches it creates a desire to life the veil between the human and the Divine, not merely to believe and worship and practice, but to behold, know, and be with the One who is greater than all. Sufism is a way of worship of the Divine through such direct knowledge, in the Prophetic phrase, “as though you see Him.” Sea Without Shore describes five remarkable men the author met and knew in his own Sufi path, and what he heard and learned from them first hand while living in the Near East over several decades. It is a Sufi manual taken from hearts, because God looks at them first, and they matter to the work of the Sufis more than books or literature. It offers a window upon a living tradition of experiential knowledge of the highest Reality. It is a handbook as valuable for its inside view of centuries-old Islamic mystical order, as for its solution to the greatest mysteries at the heart of human existence: you, God, and your fate beyond the grave.
