A list of great reading
from the spiritual website of William
Bloom.
To find out more about
these books do a Google or similar search on the title.
"The challenge
we set ourselves was to create a booklist that would provide a general
and well-rounded introduction to contemporary, holistic spirituality.
We had around 300 suggestions in the end. A group of us have brought the
list down to 50. Personally, I think it works quite well. I was imagining
a school teacher asking me for such a list. We need only make a separate
short list of fiction and poetry, including Rumi, The Alchemist, Siddharta
and a few others. Anyway see what you think. Here it is:"
