The Sufi Book of Life: 99 Pathways of the Heart for the Modern Dervish

Part meditation book, part oracle, and part collection of Sufi lore, poetry, and stories, The Sufi Book of Lifeoffers a fresh interpretation of the fundamental spiritual practice found in all ancient and modern Sufi schools—the meditations on the 99 Qualities of Unity. Unlike most books on Sufism, which are primarily collections of translated Sufi texts, this accessible guide is a handbook that explains how to apply Sufi principles to modern life. With inspirational commentary that connects each quality with contemporary concerns such as love, work, and success, as well as timeless wisdom from Sufi masters, both ancient and modern, such as Rumi, Hafiz, Shabistari, Rabia, Inayat Khan, Indries Shah, Irina Tweedie, Bawa Muhaiyadden, and more, The Sufi Book of Lifeis a dervish guide to life and love for the twenty-first century.On the web: http://sufibookoflife.com
