Description

An Interpretation of Rumi's Writings by One of the Foremost Scholars of Our Time; A penetrating antidote to today's spiritual crises, Way of Passion presents Rumi's magnificent visions of spiritual surrender and mystical union. Andrew Harvey shows how Rumi's writings are a clarion call to transform the spiritual barrenness at the heart of contemporary Western life and change its devestating global consequences. Harvey's interpretations and examinations of some of Rumi's most powerful and deeply loved verse transmit the urgency, passion and intensity of his message. One of the true prophets and mystics of our time, a man dedicated to the life of prayer and to making God's love known and felt in the world, Andrew Harvey is a leading spokesman for the mystic renaissance that is bursting into flames throughout the West.
