Tales from the Sufi Path

This book consists of twenty-seven short stories rooted in an array of teachings, principles, and values of the Sufi mystical tradition. Some of the entries are wholly original, while other tales constitute a refashioning of stories which have been handed down from generation to generation by Sufi teachers. The essence of each story is intended to resonate with various dimensions of the minds, hearts, souls, and spirits of the individuals who engage these teaching stories.
