My newest book is
SUPERSOUL 13- Discovering the Soul of God.
Insightful and thought-provoking writings on God and religion.
Richard Connor, Buddha Z (also known as the Hippy Coyote of the American Zen rock band) has created an enlightening, personal, and accesible work about the nature of God, and reconciling spirituality with religion. In many ways, I see it as a response to the state of religion in America today. As we've become increasingly wary of religion, less firm and more vague in our overall belief systems, we've become more confused as ever. Here, Connor is attempting to make sense of it all, and he does so in a way that is very accesible and accepting of different schools of thought.
If you are part of a particular religious faith, you should not be dissuaded from reading this book, because it will open your mind to a broader perspective, particularly with it comes to other religions you might not know about. I can say that, as a Christian, reading this book strengthened my faith and broadened my mind and understanding of the world.
Even if you don't reach a new enlightenment through this book, it is valuable as a record of one man's experiences, which are fascinating and well-observed. I admire Connor's candidness in sharing about his life, and the trials of homelessness, poverty and divorce. His triumph over these hardships is inspiring and makes his story of spiritual re-awakening all the more credible and inspiring.
I recommend this book to everyone.
