26.2:NEW PUBLICATIONS
“John Herlihy, Director of the Foundation Program, is happy to announce the recent publication of two of his new books Wisdom’s Journey and Journeys With Soul.”
JOURNEYS WITH SOUL
The journeys described in this volume cut across a number of diverse counties and represent very different experiences. They have one thing in common, however, that binds them together in the spirit of which they were written, namely SOUL. Whether visiting the mountainous regions of the Karakorum in Northern Pakistan, or making the ritual circumambulation in the Grand Mosque at Makkah, the author of these tales became a pilgrim soul in search of experiences in distant lands that have the power to touch the pilgrim soul within us all.
“Much more than just an engaging book of travel essays and adventures among interesting peoples in exotic lands this book offers a rare glimpse into how outer journeys can become passages to the soul. The author’s own spiritual sensibility allows the reader to experience something of the inner meaning of witnessing the Face of God in all things.” — M. Ali Lakhani, Author, and Editor of Sacred Web
WISDOM’S JOURNEY
Why do more than one billion people claim Islam as their religion? American Muslim convert John Herlihy provides his personal answer and takes readers on a journey to the heart of Islam, the fastest growing religion in the world. Weaving details of Islam's central beliefs and practices-its Five Pillars-with intimate autobiographical details of his more than thirty years in the religion, Herlihy presents readers with an insightful glimpse into a religion that remains so often misunderstood.
“John Herlihy does what too few contemporary writers have gone. He takes the reader by the hand and leads him from the point from which every spiritual journey must begin—our personal here and now. He identifies the major landmarks in self-discovery and tells us of their importance, location, and role.” – Alvin Moore, Jr., co-editor of Selected Letters of Ananda Coomaraswamy.
