Taking the centuries-old form of a "dervish handbook," a guide to life and love updated for the twenty-first century.
Neil Douglas-Klotz
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 Life offers 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 Life is a dervish guide to life
and love for the twenty-first century.
