Sitting With Sufis: A Christian Experience of Learning Sufism

$22.00 CAD

pp. 124, SIGNED by the author, “Experience the freedom and joy that come with discovering new aspects of God. Through informative detail and enlightening descriptions of spiritual practices, Howe introduces us to some of the West’s most important Sufi teachers as they tell stories, share laughter, and travel across the world to Sufi holy sites. In her personal style, Howe also explores the mysteries of the sema–the meditation movement that made Rumi famous–and invites us to experience what it is like to whirl at midnight under a starlit sky on a ranch in the Texas Hill country. With warmth and grace, Mary Blye Howe reveals how we can experience the beauty of another religious tradition, even if from the outside. “Howe’s personal account of praying with Sufis and learning their spiritual practices deepens her love and appreciation of her own faith and offers an inspiring and practical antidote to religious divisiveness and exclusivity.” ~Murray Bodo, Franciscan priest; author of The Place We Call Home: Spiritual Pilgrimage as a Path to God, and other books “
