| His travels resulted in Tying Rocks to Clouds, an engaging narrative about the renewal of faith he achieved through the simple act of presenting his questions to a broad spectrum of thinkers and spiritual leaders from the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa to Ram Dass and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. The review in Publishers Weekly summed it up this way: "This invaluable record deserves to be a bestseller, not only for its inherent wisdom, but also for its clarity and respect for the many ways there are to be and to believe." |
