The Book of the Rose [Paperback]

Paul A. Clark (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1997

The Book of the Rose is a beautifully written inspired text. The beautiful prose is written with the background of an allegory with a young man named Christopher Rochewster in the year 1378 A.D. After some journeying in far away lands, Christopher meets his Master in the city of Fez, Morocco.

It was the custom of the Adept's household to spend the hour after evening meal in the Garden, by the fountain or beneath the shade of the Olive tree. There, they would discuss the Science of Life and the Art of Living. Christopher preserved 13 of the best remmembered and best loved sayings of his Master and gives them to us in - The Book of the Rose.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of the Rose (Paperback)

Written by a true Adept of the Western Mysteries, this book explores several central doctrines of the mystic tradition as expressed in the Rosicrucian lineages. A great "seed" book for meditations and inspiration along the Path.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Book To Inspire, September 3, 2001

A Fellow Seeker (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Book of the Rose (Paperback)

This Sook reminds me strongly of Kibran's "The Prophet." It has provided material repeatedly for talks and other public speaking events. It always seems to inspire and motivate those who come into contact with it! I highly recommend it to the spiritual seeker or those just seeking inspiration.
