In the course of telling this story, Bennett touches on the most ancient spiritual traditions of humankind: the Savior God, the Great Mother, the Creator God, and the Great Spirit traditions. He offers his own insights into the real mission of Christ, and for a good part of the book examines the teaching methods of the Central Asian Sufis, the Khwajagan. -

The chapters of this book, skillfully edited and compiled by the noted psychologist Dr. Robert Frager, were derived from talks given during visits to America over the last years of his life. -

Quatrains of Rumi
Versions by John Moyne and Coleman Barks Rumi's short poems have many tones and effects: some of them are quick, joyful, and whimsical; some are finely faceted abstract statements; some probe the inward space of patience and longing.

Desert Hymns
By Dr. Assad Ali The voice of these poems is the voice of the Desert in an ardent appeal to the heart of Reality. Each of these poems is also a lesson in higher education from a loving teacher, the Desert. As Dr. Ali himself says, "These hymns have not been written to address any one of the creatures, even though they are exuberant with creatures' concerns, and their true interest is in them and in appealing to God for them. They have been written in a method similar to physical training, but as spiritual training in the world of the body and the Word." -
By Shaikh Badruddin of Simawna Commentary and translation by Tosun Bayrak al-Jerrahi In Inspirations (Waridat), Shaikh Badruddin interpreted many essential concepts of Islamic theology in an original and personal way which seems strikingly meaningful today.

Selected Lyric Poetry of Yunus Emre
Translated by Refik Algan & Kabir Helminski Yunus Emre (d. 1320?), called the "greatest folk poet in Islam" (Talat Sait Halman), was an unlettered Turkish shepherd who sang mystical songs which are still popular today. He was the first of a whole tradition of Turkish Sufi troubadours who sang of the Divine Presence, the Beloved, the Friend. His songs/poems convey a profound yet earthy spirituality. His subject is the Heart, the point of awareness where God is realized in us. "I've come to build some heart," Yunus sings. We are proud to introduce this great poet to readers of English. -

365 Poems and Teachings from the Beloved Sufi Master
Selected and translated by Kabir and Camille Helminski When the words of Rumi enter your heart, something softens, breaks, and is subtly reborn. That he wrote the words seven hundred years ago in a medieval Persian world that bears little resemblance to ours makes their uncanny resonance to us today just that much more remarkable. Here is a treasury of daily wisdom from this most beloved of all the Sufi masters—both his prose and his ecstatic poetry—that you can use to start every day for a year, or that you can dip into for inspiration any time you need to break through the granite of your heart.
